New partnership with Frucor

Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) is pleased to announce a new bottled water partnership with Frucor, utilising the h2go brand.

Frucor manufactures, markets and distributes a range of fruit juices, fruit drinks, energy drinks, waters and soft drinks, many of which are household names throughout New Zealand and Australia such as h2go, NZ Natural and Just Juice.

The partnership commenced on July 1 and Frucor will promote the partnership through all BP outlets, including point of sale material, and SLSNZ will receive 10c per bottle of h2go sold.

SLSNZ will also receive product to support its bottled water needs at carnivals and upcoming events.

Surf Life Saving New Zealand CEO Paul Dalton says he's delighted with the new agreement which provides great scope and opportunity to grow.

"The partnership is a natural fit for us with Frucor already supplying product to retailers that include some of Surf Life Saving's existing key partners, such as BP. We look forward to having them on board ahead of the new season," he says.

Scott Johnson, Commercial Director for Frucor Beverages Limited NZ, says this partnership with Surf Life Saving New Zealand is very exciting for Frucor and h2go.

"As part of the Suntory Group, it's important to us that we support local communities and as a country surrounded by water, this is an area we believe we can really make a difference to people's enjoyment and safety," he says.
