Fonte Italia Americas located in West Palm Beach, Florida is centrally
located to take advantage of the huge market opportunity in Latin America and
the Caribbean Basin, and will use the Port of Miami as its import base. The
company is currently selling in Publix/Greenwise Supermarkets, gourmet
grocers, upscale restaurants and hotels with plans to distribute nationally
and internationally in the very near future.
According to Josee Palmieri, CEO of Fonte Italia Americas, "We saw the
tremendous opportunity in the bottled water industry and the superior health
benefits provided by this particular water which is bottled at the source in
Italy. Unlike other premium waters, Filette has a much smaller molecular
cluster, resulting in easier absorption and digestion in the body, and has the
least amount of sodium of all the competing brands on the market today."
Filette has been bottled from that same source since 1894, and is proven to
have the world's smallest molecule cluster. The company also imports and
distributes San Luca and Acqua di Palmieri, two other premium drinking waters.
Fonte Italia Americas has assembled a team of experts in marketing,
distribution, sales, government relations, publishing and branding to bring
these water products to the Americas. The company has plans to begin their
distribution in the U.S. and then into Latin America, and the Caribbean. They
are members of the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association. Filette water
is the official water of the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County.
