All of this under<br />

one umbrella<br />

At Blue Waters, we love doing what we<br />

do, refreshing our consumers with quality,<br />

functional and great tasting beverages<br />

and we feel a deep sense of pride in<br />

providing them with beverages that they<br />

want and love. Through our employees,<br />

whose artistic work tells our story in a way<br />

that connects with our consumers, our<br />

consumers believe in our product quality<br />

and taste and this accomplishment is<br />

lived through the mission and vision<br />

adopted by Blue Waters employees in the<br />

Blue Waters Way. Building this emotional<br />

connection with our customers can be<br />

magical and we believe that this is what<br />

our customers have come to expect from<br />

us, every day.<br />

We are proud to be able to say, without<br />

exception, that Blue Waters products is<br />

proud to be made in Trinidad and Tobago<br />

and St. Lucia.<br />

Looking<br />

F o rwa r d<br />

We at Blue Waters want to continue in<br />

our drive for excellence to manufacture<br />

and create more products in our country.<br />

We cannot do it alone. Our suppliers,<br />

partners and peers must also join us in<br />

this journey. When consumers purchase<br />

products made in Trinidad and Tobago,<br />

we contribute to our local economy and<br />

as we continue to invest locally and<br />

create more opportunities for growth and<br />

employment, as a society, we are made<br />

better off.<br />

<strong>The</strong> TTMA can help us drive the initiative<br />

of Support Local / Buy Local by working<br />

with our Government authorities<br />

along with other Non-Government<br />

Organizations, Chambers and the wider<br />

private sector to work together on<br />

several fronts to inform consumers on the<br />

quality of local manufactured products,<br />

to reduce bureaucratic government<br />

processes by lobbying for change and<br />

by providing avenues to showcase local<br />

manufacturing in trade shows both at<br />

home and abroad.<br />

Given our current economic realities and<br />

with reference to the speech made by<br />

Mr. Arthur Lok Jack, we cannot continue<br />

to rely only our local market for revenue.<br />

We at Blue Waters see our markets as<br />

the Caribbean and beyond. <strong>The</strong> need<br />

for export to drive the inflow of foreign<br />

currency is necessary to continue to<br />

diversify away from our reliance as an<br />

economy on oil and gas, manufacturing<br />

should lead this call. We at Blue Waters<br />

are doing our part and have established<br />

a sister plant in St. Lucia, Blue Waters St.<br />

Lucia Limited, to serve markets across<br />

the region and also, major distribution<br />

partners in several Caribbean countries.<br />

Blue Waters continues to look for new<br />

opportunities and avenues for investment<br />

and export.<br />

We wish to thank the TTMA for again<br />

recognizing our contribution to Trinidad<br />

and Tobago and look forward to further<br />

discourse on how Blue Waters as a<br />

company can contribute positively<br />

to Trinidad and Tobago and its<br />

manufacturing sector.<br />
