DELRAY BEACH, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/17/08 -- Celsius Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CSUH) announced today Schenck Company will be distributing Celsius throughout Central Florida. The addition of Schenck will contribute to the Celsius brand's expansion and market saturation for Florida. Schenck will be able to place Celsius in multiple channels such as grocery, drug, convenience, gyms, health stores, universities, spas, delis, and more.
"During the last year, we expanded our product portfolio to Non Alcoholic Beverages and added a dedicated sales team, totally separated from the core sales team," said Kelley Mossburg, President and Corporate General Manager at Schenck. "We did this so we can give this product category the specialized support it deserves, without compromising the company's focus on our core business, beer."
"Celsius is excited to join forces with such a forward-thinking aggressive partner, right in our back yard," said Dick McGee, COO Celsius, Inc. "Celsius is quickly picking up momentum in Central Florida with our recent launch in Walgreens and we are confident Schenck has the vision and experience to take Celsius to full market penetration."
