A1R WATER and Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits Join Forces
In an exciting development for the beverage industry, A1R WATER, a leader in atmospheric water generation technology, has entered into a national distribution agreement with Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, renowned as a major distributor of alcoholic beverages. Established on October 1, 2025, this significant partnership aims to enhance the distribution of clean drinking water through various product offerings, initially focusing on South Florida with plans for broader market penetration in the future.
A Strong Partnership
The announcement of this partnership marks a pivotal moment for both companies. A1R WATER’s innovative technology harnesses humidity from the air to produce clean drinking water, positioning itself as a sustainable solution for water scarcity. Given Southern Glazer's extensive network and experience in the beverage sector, this collaboration aims to facilitate the distribution of A1R's water products, which will initially include sparkling and still canned water, alongside bottled water options.
Pete Carr, President and CEO of A1R WATER, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We’re excited to partner with Southern Glazer's. Their expertise and capabilities in the beverage sector make them the ideal champion to support A1R WATER in the market. We believe their multi-generational presence and proven results will help us reach a wider audience with our high-quality product."
In a similar vein, Wayne E. Chaplin, President and CEO of Southern Glazer's, highlighted the mutual benefits of this collaboration: "The relationship with A1R WATER represents a strategic opportunity to serve consumers in the non-alcohol beverage space. By combining our strengths, we can better meet the demands of our customers and suppliers while aligning with the values of our consumers. We look forward to growing together."
Commitment to Sustainability
Both companies share a strong commitment to sustainability, which has underscored their partnership. A1R WATER, founded in 2018, has innovatively transformed traditional dehumidification technology into a commercial-scale solution for generating drinking water without contaminants such as BPA and microplastics. In fact, they expect to produce and distribute over 30 million gallons of water in 2025 alone.
Moreover, A1R WATER recently made headlines with its announcement of a definitive agreement to combine with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. III, a publicly traded Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC). Following this business combination, the new entity will operate under the name Air Water Ventures Limited, and its shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market with the ticker symbol "WATR."
Technological Advancements
At the core of A1R WATER's operations is its proprietary air-to-water technology designed to extract clean water from atmospheric humidity. Their products range from small countertop units to large systems capable of producing 3,000 liters per day. This technology not only provides valuable drinking water, but it also constitutes a significant step towards addressing global water scarcity issues.
Additionally, A1R WATER is not just focused on manufacturing; it also engages in conducting water farming and bottling operations, supplying finished products to notable global brands, including premier hotels and resorts.
Southern Glazer's Commitment to Diversity
Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits stands out not only for its distribution capabilities but also for its commitment to social responsibility. In 2025, the company was honored by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity and Women, showcasing its ongoing dedication to fostering an inclusive workplace culture within the beverage industry.
Both companies are excited about the future ahead, believing that their partnership will not only benefit their respective growths but also contribute positively to environmental sustainability and community wellness.
