Lifespan Company Limited
Business View Caribbean 7 “Our product is a lifestyle product. It’s healthy and it’s naturally alkalized, so it neutralizes the acidity in the body. A lot of consumers are becoming increasingly aware of going the healthy route. They want to make sure that they are taking care of their bodies now, so that they don’t have those medical issues later on in life. We’re trying to educate the public and the market that we’re in.” In addition, according to many, alkaline water not only invigorates the body because it is nega- tively charged, and thus acts as an antioxidant, reduc- ing cellular and DNA damage, it simply tastes better, as well. Should Lifespan become able to exploit all of the springs on its property, which produce a total 5,500 gallons of water per minute, or 2.9 billion gallons per year, it could increase its production to 915 million 16.9 ounce cases, annually. The maximum, poten- tial revenue from all its springs could then approach $US6.7 billion per year, which would make the com- pany, far and away, the largest high-quality, natural al- kaline spring water bottler in the western hemisphere, and ten times bigger than world-leading Fiji. So, the small company that began a mere decade ago, with only a husband, wife, one employee, and an old pickup truck, today stands on the precipice of becom- ing a major player in a world-wide, 60+ billion-dollar-a- year industry, and a global leader in the marketplace. And it’s done it in less time than it takes a single drop of rain to make its way from the top of the Blue Moun- tains, to that underground spring far, far below.
