Under the terms of the agreement, Cuisinart will market and sell Primo Water’s existing line of sparkling beverage appliances and related consumables in North America, and Primo will supply CO 2 cylinders for Cuisinart’s new proprietary line of sparkling beverage makers. Primo Water’s beverage maker line consists of the Flavorstation and Liberty models, both of which fall under the marketing and sales terms of the new agreement. Beginning this month, Cuisinart will debut its own sparkling beverage makers, which will be powered by Primo Water CO 2 cylinders and available in Cuisinart’s traditional retail channels, which encompass department and specialty stores (including online segments). Additionally, Primo Water will provide the distribution and refilling of CO2 cylinders for both its own units and Cuisinart branded sparkling beverage makers. “This strategic alliance is consistent with our decision to re-focus on our core businesses and strengths, and we are excited to partner with Cuisinart, a leader in kitchen appliances, cookware and other housewares markets,” said Billy Prim, Chairman and CEO of Primo Water. “Cuisinart has the experience and proficiency to grow and maintain sales in this quickly expanding category. Primo has experience and expertise in managing a retail distribution network and can support the growth of this new category by supplying the appliances’ key consumable component—the CO2 cylinder.” “Cuisinart has been successfully building on its diverse product assortment and strong retail presence, and the beverage maker segment was a natural next step for the company,” said Ron Diamond, President of Conair Corporation, Cuisinart’s parent company. “There are many significant reasons that led us to partner with Primo Water in this endeavor, one of the most important being its directstore-delivery network to major retailers. This offers a clear advantage over other forms of distribution for CO2 cylinders.” Sasa Demarle Partners with Philabundance to Support Non-Profit Job Training Program Sasa Demarle Inc., the innovation leader in non-stick baking mats, is donating 100 Silpat® non-stick baking mats to the Philabundance Community Kitchen program, an adult culinary arts vocational training program that supplies critically needed meals to agencies and emergency kitchens serving people with food insecurity. In addition to the donation, Sasa Demarle Inc. employees are also volunteering at Philabundance’s Hunger Relief Center and hosting a food drive at their office. Widely used in commercial kitchens as well as in the home, Silpat non-stick baking mats offer superior stick resistance. They are made in France with the highest quality food grade silicone that is reinforced with a fiberglass mesh, for maximum heat transfer, ultimate release and quick and easy cleanup. The Philabundance Community Kitchen program prepares low-income adults for careers in the foodservice industry. The Silpat non-stick baking mats will be used to train students in practical kitchen skills while preparing thousands of meals per year for local shelters, soup kitchens and social service agencies. After the students graduate from the Philabundance Community Kitchen program, they receive help from the organization’s staff to find and maintain employment in the foodservice industry. Eighty five percent of graduates have been able to find and keep full-time work in restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, and catering companies. Philabundance is the largest hunger relief organization in the Delaware Valley region. The organization reduces hunger and food insecurity by providing food access to people in need in partnership with organizations and individuals. In the fiscal year 2011, Philabundance distributed 21 million pounds of food to families in need.
