International Bottled Water Association Honors Mountain Valley Marketing Efforts

ORLANDO, FL – Mountain Valley Spring Company, headquartered in Hot Springs, Arkansas, captured two first-place awards and an honorable mention “Best of Show” during the 47th annual Convention and Trade Show for the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA; www.bottledwater.org).

The IBWA’s Aqua Awards acknowledge the best in advertising and public relations programs produced by IBWA-member companies from around the world. Mountain Valley received first-place honors for both “Best Web Site” (www.mountainvalleyspring.com) and “Best Label and Package Design” for its new premium glass bottles. Masafi Mineral Water of the United Arab Emirates received “Best of Show” honors, but the panel of judges elected to add an honorable mention to Mountain Valley Spring Company as well, citing the company’s successfully integrated efforts to communicate its quality and heritage.

“We are certainly honored and excited,” said Breck Speed, Chairman & CEO of Mountain Valley Spring Company. “The winners represent the best in the bottled-water industry worldwide, and we are proud to stand out among such an elite group.”
