This reinforces our strategic vision and strengthens our positioning. It is a win-win for all parties.”
“We are pleased to have the closing behind us and look forward to the opportunities before us,” said Greg Mortensen, CEO of PWE. “The management team of Perfect Water and Essentials have extensive backgrounds in the beverage and consumer marketplace, and we are confident that the market is ready for the unique benefits of our Perfect Essentials products.”
