The Vita Coco Company announces the acquisition of Copra, Inc.

The Vita Coco Company, Inc., a leading high-growth platform of better-for-you beverage brands, announced that the Company acquired Copra, Inc., one of the leading producers of super-premium Thai Nam Hom coconut water.

Copra has built a differentiated position in the super-premium cold-chain coconut water segment, supported by expertise in Thai Nam Hom sourcing, an extract-and-fill-on-site operating model, an emerging branded business, and a very strong private label business. The transaction gives Vita Coco a platform to participate in this attractive, fast growing segment of the coconut water category where the Company does not currently compete.

“We are so excited to welcome the Copra team to the Vita Coco family. Coconut water, which is the fastest growing category in the beverage aisle, is still in the early innings of what it can become. We see a meaningful opportunity to keep expanding the category by meeting consumers in new occasions, formats and price tiers,” said Michael Kirban, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Vita Coco. “Copra brings specialized capabilities, deep sourcing expertise and a super-premium offering that can help us serve more consumers, and expand our market share while continuing to help shape and lead the category’s continued global growth. We are excited to leverage Vita Coco’s expertise in sales and marketing to accelerate what Copra has built with their high quality coconut water. Together, we believe that we can accelerate global growth and build a strong branded Thai Nam Hom coconut water business.”

“The Copra team is thrilled to be joining the Vita Coco family, and to accelerate our growth with their support,” said Ben Minges, CEO and Co-Founder of Copra. “The super-premium segment of the Coconut Water category, defined by Thai Nam Hom water, is experiencing very strong growth. Our coconut water is sold chilled and has a sweet, aromatic flavor and slightly pink color. Vita Coco is the perfect partner to help achieve our vision to be a leading player in this segment,” said Chai Phonsuwan, Co-Founder of Copra.

Vita Coco expects to create value by expanding Copra’s capacity, improving operational efficiency, supporting existing customer demand and adding new relationships, and investing thoughtfully behind Copra to build a strong super premium brand.

“Copra’s Net Sales CAGR of 48% over the past three years in the cold-chain coconut water segment is remarkable. We believe it is a perfect add-on to our coconut water capabilities, expands our total addressable market, strengthens our participation in coconut water, and gives us another way to help shape the category’s continued growth,” said Martin Roper, Chief Executive Officer of The Vita Coco Company. “I look forward to working with Copra’s founders and team to deliver on our joint vision for Copra.”
