Sunny Delight Beverages Co. Recognized by the Cincinnati Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth in the Deal Maker Awards

CINCINNATI, May 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, Sunny Delight Beverages Co. was a recipient of the Deal Maker Corporate Award from the Cincinnati Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG).  ACG's Deal Maker Awards Program aims to recognize significant achievements of local companies and individuals who have recently been inspirational, visionary, creative, tenacious and persistent in their efforts to complete acquisitions, joint ventures, financing or strategic alliance transactions.

Sunny Delight Beverages Co. has flourished in its acquisitions and successful integrations of beverage companies such as SunnyD, Veryfine Inc. and Bossa Nova, which have allowed the company to continually adapt, innovate and grow to meet the changing tastes, needs and lifestyles of consumers. For example, when the company acquired SunnyD, it was a challenged brand that had declined by almost one-third in the preceding five years.  Following the acquisition, Sunny Delight Beverages Co. turned the brand around, producing significant growth during the first five years of ownership and tripling profits. As a result of this acquisition and others, Sunny Delight Beverages Co. remains a driving force in the local business community and a recognized leader in the juice-based drink industry.

"We are thrilled to be recognized in ACG's Deal Maker Corporate Awards," said Billy Cyr, president and CEO. "Some of the best work we do at Sunny Delight Beverages Co. is buying struggling businesses from big companies and then reinvigorating them. In some ways, Sunny Delight Beverages Co. has earned a reputation as the beverage repair shop – we're the company that fixes broken beverage brands."

Cyr continued, "While large mergers and acquisitions often get attention for the size of the transaction, most business professionals know that what happens after the deal closes is what should really make the headlines. That's why awards like ACG's Deal Makers are so vitally important and why everyone at Sunny Delight Beverages Co. is deeply honored to be a recipient."
