The assets purchased include trucks, dispensing equipment, bottles and customer lists. Blue Hills’ customers will be merged into Vermont Pure’s local, existing operation creating more density in the Boston market for the company. Approximately 5,000 customers were acquired in the transaction.
“Blue Hills, through Monadnock, has been a recognised leader in the Boston bottled water market for many years, and the acquisition of their customer base puts us in position to be a major player in the largest metro area in New England,” said Peter Baker, CEO of Vermont Pure Holdings.
“The transition to Vermont Pure is an obvious one for us,” said Mike Verrochi, CEO of Blue Hills. “They have a long history of providing superior customer service and an extensive selection of quality products, including their flagship brands Vermont Pure and Crystal Rock.”
Vermont Pure Holdings – the largest independent home and office distributor of its kind in the US – markets water, coffee and other home and office refreshment products throughout the northeast through its subsidiary, Crystal Rock.
