A Slovenian start-up company, producing and marketing a new beverage “seltzer” is looking for established distributors of alcoholic beverages in EU markets

The Slovenian start-up company for the production and distribution of beverages, consisting of experienced entrepreneurs with many years of experience in various fields, was founded in 2020 with the aim of launching a new type of beverage called "seltzer", which has become very popular in recent years, especially in the USA. It is a drink based on carbonated water with alcohol (approx. 4 vol%), obtained by fermentation, without sugar and other sweeteners, carbohydrates and gluten, and with added flavors. The young entrepreneurial team developed a seltzer with 5 different flavors: - Seltzer with mango and mandarin flavor - Lemongrass and green tea flavored seltzer - Lemon and elderberry-flavored seltzer - Blueberry and mint flavored seltzer - Seltzer with red orange and ginger flavor The drink is filled in 0.33 l cans. The drink quickly established itself on the Slovenian market (bars, restaurants, small shops and larger retail chains such as E. Leclerc, Mercator, Spar) and became popular among young people and among visitors to various international outdoor music festivals in Slovenia. The company is already successfully marketing its product on the Slovenian market, but wants to expand its presence to other markets in the EU, where such drinks are not yet present to a large extent. It is therefore looking for established distributors of alcoholic and low-alcohol beverages with promotion experience and an established trade network to distribute seltzer in intra-EU markets under a distribution services agreement.
