DS Waters owned Kentwood Springs Water Company, based in Louisiana, US, has acquired Abita Spring Waters for an undisclosed sum. Abita’s water will retain its own brandname, but be produced by Kentwood Springs, which focuses on bulk water delivery, as well selling single serve bottled water in local retail outlets.

Kentwood will assume management of Abita’s water delivery service.

Vice President and General Manager at Kentwood, Glen Sanders, said of the move: “With the acquisition of Abita, we are able to both expand the reach of our bottled water delivery service and also ensure that we will be able to work within this vibrant community for years to come.”
