BOSTON, Jan. 27, 2017 — Bevi, a company that designs high-tech coolers for sparkling and flavored water, announced a distribution partnership with Canteen, the nation’s leading provider in unattended retail solutions. This agreement adds a revolutionary offering to Canteen’s product lineup, reflecting changing consumer demands for more personalized, healthy, and sustainable beverage offerings. Previously Bevi served hundreds of clients in New York, Boston, and San Francisco; with the Canteen partnership, Bevi is now available in all major metro areas in the continental United States.

The Canteen partnership brings us to a whole new level – this is the big leagues! We’re really honored that the world leader in customer satisfaction and logistics for food service has chosen to work with us,” Grundy said.
