About company

National Beverage Corp. is a prominent player in the beverage industry, primarily known for its diverse range of products that cater to the tastes and preferences of health-conscious consumers. The company's product lineup includes sparkling waters, juices, energy drinks, and, to a lesser extent, carbonated soft drinks. Among its notable brands are LaCroix®, a leading sparkling water brand, as well as Shasta® and Faygo®, two carbonated soft drink brands with a long history of consumer loyalty. National Beverage prides itself on its innovative approach to product design, packaging, and flavor creation, which sets it apart in a competitive market. The company emphasizes its commitment to producing all its beverages within the United States, which not only supports local employment but also aligns with its efforts to maintain a lower carbon footprint compared to imported brands. While the company has received recognition from various charitable organizations for its contributions to health research and support for military personnel and their families, its core business remains focused on delivering a wide array of beverages designed to appeal to consumers seeking healthier and more imaginative drink options.
