Nestl\u00e9 Waters North America Inc. (NWNA) began in 1976 with a single brand and has rapidly grown to our current status as the third largest non-alcoholic beverage company in the U.S. by volume. As Senior Packaging Manager Chet Hojnicki says, \u201cWe owe much of our success to partnerships like the one we enjoy with the Orthodox Union. More than one billion labels are printed by our company every month, and that kind of volume requires accessibility to retailers and consumers alike \u2014 without restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith many retailers, they can\u2019t do business if you\u2019re not kosher certified,\u201d Mr. Hojnick declares. \u201cIf we release a new product, they will ask for the kosher certification. And thanks to our decades-long relationship with the OU, we\u2019re prepared for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe take our credo seriously at NWNA: \u2018Respect for each other, respect for the environment and respect for community.\u2019 \u00a0We live those words every day,
\nthrough our company culture, commitment to eliminating landfill waste and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 by showing our deep respect for the needs and concerns of the people who drink our products. We know that one of the best ways to demonstrate appreciation for observant consumers is by supplying kosher certification they can trust without question.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Orthodox Union\u2019s programs go beyond kosher certification,\u201d Mr. Hojnicki explains. \u201cBecause of those programs, the credibility of their kosher certification program is very strong \u2014 it\u2019s a very strong trademark. The number of programs they do and the quality of their work win them enormous respect.\u201d<\/p>\n
He adds, \u201cBecause of the OU\u2019s exceptional reputation, we invite them to inspect and certify our plants, including our new, 200,000-square foot bottling facility being built in McBee, South Carolina. The OU also inspects ingredients for our flavored beverages.\u201d<\/p>\n
As OU rabbinic coordinator Rabbi David Bistricer says, \u201cThe OU enjoys a very close working relationship with Nestl\u00e9 Waters North America. Our close cooperation has successfully provided high quality beverages to the kosher community. The relationship between the two parties is special, and we look forward to continue working together for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
