Bevi has announced its first international expansion into the UK and Ireland.
Responding to increasing demand for healthy, customisable beverage options, Bevi is introducing its Smart Water Coolers to commercial spaces, such as offices and hotels.

Customers will have access to the company’s Standup 2.0 machine and six flavours produced locally in the UK, exclusive to the European market. These flavours can be combined with vitamin boost and electrolyte functional enhancements.
Bevi’s Smart Water Coolers offer still, sparkling, flavoured and enhanced water on demand, reducing single-use plastic waste. With a focus on sustainability and enhanced workplace amenities, businesses in the UK and Ireland can integrate Bevi machines tailored to their requirements. Users can customise beverages with flavours such as blackcurrant, strawberry mint, lemon lime, cucumber, orange mango and pear, and add functional enhancements like electrolytes and vitamin boost, which are said to be popular features among existing US and Canadian customers who are looking to add extra benefits to their beverage.
Cathy Lewenberg, Bevi's recently appointed CEO, said: “It’s an exciting time at Bevi as we embark for the first time into international markets outside of North America. We’re excited to bring our Smart Water Coolers and new, unique flavours to the UK market to provide a healthy and sustainable alternative to bottles and cans as we continue on our mission to transform the global beverage industry.”
