Caporella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This is truly commendable by any measure, especially should one reflect on how and why National Beverage began its existence!

"We excel in a class of our own and have and will continue to set the standard for others in the development of flavor-based beverages in North America. This special 'flavor' significance follows true across all segments of our business - soft drinks, juices, teas, waters and energy drinks," Caporella concluded.
