Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. Subsidiary Spirits of the South Pacific Outlines Marketing Strategy for Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur and Plans for Future Products
Oct 4, 2007 10:12:00 (ET)
ORANGE, Calif., Oct 04, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Spirits of the South Pacific, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LDHG), today released its marketing strategy for Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur, which it will begin importing and distributing in the U.S. later this month. The company also announced that it expects to release its initial revenue and income projections within the next 7-10 days.
According to industry pundits, the major trends defining the current alcoholic beverage market are "premiumization" and "increased health awareness." Many consumers now want to enjoy better quality, more indulgent products while moderating drinking to avoid health issues. The company believes its Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur will appeal to both the highbrow and health-conscious demographics because if its inherent and unique blend of premium rum and ripe Philippine mangoes. Over the next 5 years, Spirits of the South Pacific plans to introduce a full line of mango-based products under the Paradise Mango label. The company's goal is to introduce at least one product each year. The first product to be introduced will be Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur, which has a unique marketing niche because unlike other mango-flavored rums that use artificial flavoring, Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur is made from tree-ripened Philippine mangoes and is the only all natural true mango-based adult beverage on the market.
Simultaneously with the release of Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur, Spirits of the South Pacific is also developing its own private label line of 5-year old and 12-year old traditional and flavored rums. These products have already undergone taste tests, bottles are ready, and labels are in the design phase. Once the labels have U.S. government approval, bottling will begin immediately. And meanwhile, the company is also in the concept phase of a high-end premium label line that will cater to the more indulgent consumer who seeks quality above cost. Once again, bottle design has been completed and the blends are underway. Private label lines of alcoholic beverage are projected to rise overall by 28% in the U.S. and Europe over the next five years, and industry executives expect to see even higher sales growth in the premium branded products.
The company's VP of Marketing and Distribution, and the man responsible for the marketing rollout is Henri Rombouts, an industry veteran with a business degree from the University of Phoenix who has also spent 16 years as a bartender and master mixologist and 14 more in sales and marketing. Mr. Rombouts is directly responsible for all aspects of sales, promotions and distribution, and has personally made direct contact with hundreds of bars, hotels and retailers. He was also instrumental in recruiting two additional key seasoned vets to his marketing team: Rick Frazier, an importer/distributor with 40+ years experience who helped build the Captain Morgan brand for Seagram's, and George Quitoriano, who before coming to Spirits of the South Pacific, logged years of experience for Harbor Distributing, Miller Brewing Company, 4 Seasons import-exports and his own importing company, LGI Trading.
In addition to using traditional marketing and distribution methods, Spirits of the South Pacific is also embarking on an aggressive campaign of celebrity and promotional events. Party-scene heavyweights, including film directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, costume/props master Greg Nicotero, and other industry insiders have already sampled Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur and according to Mr. Rombouts the initial response has been "phenomenal." A full calendar of high profile events is being prepared and will be announced over the coming weeks and months.

The company will then immediately gear up to begin marketing its line of nutrient-enhanced water products.

In response to this announcement, Ronald C.

The Founder and current CEO of these water companies will become the new CEO of the public company, and the key members of his current staff will join the executive team, bringing with them a combined 70+ years of experience in the bottled water industry. We are very excited about the future of this company as we transition into our new structure and business. We believe that the actions announced today will bring a much greater value to the company and all of its stockholders than our prior business model had been able to generate.

ORANGE, Calif., Nov 19, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LDHG) has issued a statement of clarification regarding a recent press release in which it announced its intention to enter the premium bottled water business. Ronald C.

The comments we have received from both our existing stockholders and from the market at large have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, and also indicated that further clarification was needed to explain the purpose and strategy behind these actions."
"We want to make it clear that upon completion of these acquisitions, Liberty intends to devote 100% of its efforts toward becoming a major player in the premium bottled water industry, with an initial focus on a full line of nutrient-enhanced water products including those enhanced to provided vitamin support for general health, a diet formulation for weight watchers, an immune booster, and an energy and fitness drink. This line of bottled water beverages stands apart from all others in that they are the only nutritional water formulations that contain no calories, no carbohydrates, no colors and most importantly, no flavors other than pure water. Furthermore, these beverages are created using a superior patented process, these products have already been successfully beta tested, and judging by Coca-Cola's recent $4.2 billion buyout of VitaminWater, today's market appears to be quite thirsty for pure and organic healthy water products."

A new Board of Directors will be formed and the Executive Team currently running the target companies whose assets we will purchase will assume those same positions at Liberty. These executives are seasoned veterans in every aspect of the water business and have developed water companies around the globe, including Hawaii, Micronesia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel, Egypt, Germany, and several companies in the U.S., and we are very confident that they can provide the leadership and direction needed to help our company become the next huge success in this industry.

The deal is delayed, and some investors get frustrated and sell their shares. It's a good time to get in for next week. This stock got R/S in August, and a run is due. The dilution will occur after the run, but they will let her run and raise the pps first.

who needs anything else but astroglide or KY..go ask Danny and bilg, they'll tell ya how great it is lol, they cant get enough of the product..this company is hilarious..from cellulite machine to KY rip off, wow..only on the penny i guess. Jim i salute you for playing this one..GL..I hope this lubricant changes the world.. well, I guess if it goes bad theres pleny of lube around to make it easier for the shaft, lol..
Personal lubrication is a $130 million-a-year industry in the United States. Kehoe said it is growing at 8 percent per year and is dominated by a handful of products such as K-Y and Astroglide. But it's not a subject many people feel comfortable talking about, and so far marketing has been subtle.

Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. Acquires Assets of XND Technologies, Inc. and Announces New Corporate Structure and DirectionLast update: 12/13/2007 8:30:00 AMORANGE, Calif., Dec 13, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ORANGE, Calif., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LDHG) announced yesterday that it has acquired 100% of the assets of XND Technologies, Inc. (XND), an Arizona corporation, including all of its proprietary formulations, patents and trademarks, and its existing production and distribution systems. XND has been working to produce and distribute a line of nutrient-enhanced bottled water products that contain no calories, no carbohydrates, no colors and most importantly, no flavors other than pure water, and does this using a process that is more efficient and less costly than others currently in use. This concept is unique because no other producer adds organic nutrients without also adding masking flavors, colors or sweeteners. Now that these agreements are finalized, Liberty will immediately redirect its entire efforts to the premium bottled water industry and bringing to market a full line of nutrient-enhanced water products to compete with currently available products such as VitaminWater and SmartWater. Initial products are expected to include those enhanced to provide vitamin support for general health, a diet formulation for weight watchers, an immune booster, an energy and fitness drink, and others. Liberty is also in the final stages of negotiations for the acquisition of assets for a second water company, and a further announcement regarding that transaction is expected very soon. Liberty acquired the assets of XND in exchange for stock and no cash was involved in the acquisition. As a result of the transaction, controlling interest in Liberty has been passed to the stockholders of XND. Liberty will immediately apply for a name change to reflect its new direction in the bottled water business and Liberty's current officers and board will remain in place until the name change is complete and no later than December 31, 2007. Once the new name is in effect, Mr. Steve Nickolas, the current CEO and President of XND, will be appointed President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company, and a new Board of Directors will be established. At that time, Mr. Ron Touchard and Dr. Michael Brown, Liberty's current CEO and President, respectively, will step down from their positions as officers and directors of the Company but will remain with the Company in other positions to be announced later. Incoming Chairman, President and CEO Steve Nickolas is a 30-year veteran of the beverage and bottled water industry who has worked as a beverage consultant and in a variety of management positions, including assignments at Anheuser-Busch, Nestles, Whitlock Packaging, Proctor & Gamble and Suntory. Mr. Nickolas opened the first bottled water company in Hawaii in 1980 and by 1990 had developed water companies around the world including Micronesia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel, Germany and several in the U.S. He later founded Apani Bottled Water Co., a new bottled water concept using small packaging PET bottles, which he grew to over $35 million in annual sales. He is also the Founder and President/CEO of XND Technologies, Inc. Mr. Nickolas has a B.S. degree in Political Science and Economics from the Claremont Colleges and has completed postgraduate work at Claremont Graduate School and Cal Poly Pomona in Government and Psychology. Commentary In response to this announcement, Ronald C. Touchard, Chairman and CEO of Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc., commented, "We are very pleased to announce to acquisition of the assets of XND Technologies, Inc. The structure of these acquisitions will integrate the assets of Liberty and XND into a single company, which we feel is a much better situation for us on the market place, and our new name and change of management signals our full commitment to our new corporate direction. We are also pleased to introduce our incoming Chairman and President/CEO, Mr. Steve Nickolas, who we believe has the ideal expertise and experience to lead the company to success as we become a major player in the premium bottled water industry. We are now moving ahead full steam to secure the necessary funding to scale up operations and we are more excited than we have ever been about both the near and long-term future of our company." Mr. Nickolas added, "This is a very exciting day for us. We have worked very hard at XND to develop an outstanding line of products and to position ourselves for rapid entry and expansion in large and fast-growing industry. The acquisitions of these companies' assets by Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. provide us with the best of all possible worlds. Our current management team will remain in place to see this vision through to completion, while Liberty's access to capital markets will allow us to move forward much more quickly than otherwise possible. Now that this integration is complete, we look forward to making many additional announcements in the very near future."

Related Quotes Sym. Price Chg. LDHG Trade News 0.0012 -0.0002 Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. Releases Very Favorable Results of Recent Qualitative Research Study of Nu20 Enhanced Bottled Water Products
Dec 17, 2007 08:30:00 (ET)
ORANGE, Calif., Dec 17, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LDHG) has released the results of a recent qualitative research study of its Nu20 enhanced bottled water brand, conducted by Hall and Partners Brand and Communications Research Group. Liberty acquired the rights to Nu20 products and brand as a result of its recent purchase of the assets of XND Technologies, Inc. and plans to begin marketing the products in early 2008.
Fieldwork for the research was conducted in New York City, Los Angeles, and Phoenix with both male and female participants ages 25-49. Results of the study showed a very high level of public interest for a pure tasting nutrient enhanced bottled water product and indicated that Nu20, based on product attributes alone, offers unique and differentiated benefits. Participants connected the Nu20 product with their desire to make good choices for their health and felt that Nu20 provided them both an easy and convenient way to improve their personal health and well-being. They also reacted very favorably to the fact that Nu20 is nutrient enhanced via organically derived natural extracts yet still retains the taste of pure and clear water. This is possible because of a special patented process is used to make Nu20, whereas no other producer adds organic nutrients without also adding masking flavors, colors or sweeteners. Perhaps most important of all from a marketing perspective, Nu20's branding and packaging was perceived as portraying a strong fit with what the product actually is - an infused vitamin/nutrient water product that is pure tasting. The study concluded that Nu20's product attributes coupled with its contemporary packaging is perceived as an organic, innovative, stylish and modern product which lends itself very readily to the highly lucrative target market of adult buyers of premium bottled water products.

This concept is unique because no other producer adds organic nutrients without also adding masking flavors, colors or sweeteners. Liberty has applied for a name change to reflect its new direction in the bottled water business and will be announcing its new name and symbol shortly. The Company has redirected its entire efforts to the premium bottled water industry and intends to market a full line of nutrient-enhanced water products to compete with currently available products such as VitaminWater and SmartWater. Initial products are expected to include those enhanced to provide vitamin support for general health, a diet formulation for weight watchers, an immune booster, an energy and fitness drink, and others. Liberty is also in the final stages of negotiations for the acquisition of assets for a second water company, and a further announcement regarding that transaction is expected very soon.
