History

The company roots trace back to 1971 when friends John Ferolito and Don Vultaggio opened a beverage distribution business in Brooklyn, New York. The company was a successful beer distributor. In 1990, they saw the success of Snapple bottled juices and teas, and attempted to make their product. In 1992, they produced the first bottles of their own AriZona teas.
