NEW YORK, U.S. — Forto, one of the fastest growing ready-to-drink coffee brands in America, has received a 2018 “Rising Star” award at this year’s “BevNET Live” event. This award is given to brands and companies whose performance over the past year has put them into position to create long-term change within the industry.
FORTO® has earned this distinction, in part, because of their exponential growth — 400% year-over-year, to date — as well as their consistent roll-outs of new offerings to their product line, including a full-sized coffee beverage, and four coffee shots in partnership with some of the most nationally recognized purveyors in coffee: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters®, The Original Donut Shop®, Krispy Kreme ® Doughnuts, and Gevalia®.
“We’re honored to be recognized by BevNET as a Rising Star in the industry,” said Neel Premkumar, Founder and CEO of FORTO® Coffee.
“This has been a tremendous year of growth and innovation for us, as we’ve expanded our FORTO coffee products and began distributing nationally. We’re proud to be leading the “4th wave” of coffee consumption, promoting coffee as a delicious and functional tool for people on-the-go, and look forward to another great year ahead!”
Past winners of the “Rising Star” award include La Colombe, Spindrift, CORE and Health-Ade Kombucha.
Available in 50,000 retail locations nationwide, FORTO is also available online at www.fortocoffee.com.
