Greene Concepts Positions Bottling Plant for Increased Sales and Onsite Support
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/10/27/2543036/0/en/Greene-Concepts-Positions-Bottling-Plant-for-Increased-Sales-and-Onsite-Support.html
Marion, North Carolina, Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene Concepts, Inc. (OTC Pink: INKW) is proud to announce it is actively expanding the size of the bottling plant in Marion, NC. Additionally, the Company is increasing its onsite staffing and support levels. This amplification involves the installation of a new high-speed bottling line allowing the company to produce its own bottles on site along with gallon-sized production while also hiring additional staff for key roles.
The company’s current bottling plant size of 55,000 square feet will be expanded by 20,000 square feet resulting in a total square footage of 75,000 square feet. This increase further supports the company’s August 16, 2022 press release where it announced additional upgrades and modernization to its Marion, NC bottling plant.
Furthermore, the company is installing equipment to support gallon-sized production as noted in its August 24, 2022 press release. The new equipment installations in addition to staff and building square footage additions will strengthen Greene Concepts’ ability to support larger-scale sales orders from small and large retailers across the country along with varying type of packaging sizes to include 6-pack, 12-pack, 24-packs, gallon size, and 1-liter beverages.
Amy McNally, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, notes, “The added square footage to our plant prepares us to manufacture and house additional bottles while increasing our packaging and loading space as we continue to expand to more retailers across the country. In addition, we are preparing to install an additional high-speed line where we will be able to amplify our production capacity while reducing production costs through vertical integration.”
Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts, states, “In order to support the expansion and high-speed line installation along with our new gallon-sized production equipment, we are hiring an architect along with a civil engineer. The architect will help us create a unique design specific to our bottling plant and develop plans to ensure the building remains functional, safe, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing. The civil engineer will help in the plan, design, and construction of the plant expansion along with ensuring the safety of the building, roadways, parking lot, and water/sewerage systems.”
Mr. Greene continues, “Both hirings will collaborate with us to obtain the proper permits and licenses to ensure structural, electrical, and operational integrity, safety, and governmental compliance. The architect and civil engineer enable us to boost our current plant capabilities and support multiple large-scale national retail orders. Other open positions we are hiring for include assistant plant manager, plant technician, maintenance technician, and line workers for all bottling plant station operations.
Once the Company begins producing plastic bottles in house, manufacturing costs will decrease while speed of manufacturing increases. This adds value to the Company’s production line as well as bottom-line almost immediately which is extremely value-added for our shareholders and for our company revenues.”

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/10/06/2529542/0/en/Greene-Concepts-Contracts-with-Metatron-Inc-to-Develop-Hydration-Tracking-App.html
Marion, North Carolina, Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene Concepts, Inc. (OTC Pink: INKW) and Metatron Inc. (OTC Pink: MRNJ) are pleased to announce a collaboration for the development of a new hydration application. Greene Concepts Inc has contracted Metatron Inc. to develop a hydration app to increase consumer health, awareness, and hydration.
The hydration app will allow users to scan and automatically track daily water intake and compare intake to recommended daily needs by personalizing consumer recommendations based on height, weight, and activity level. The user will then view and manage their information via a dashboard available via webpage or mobile device.
Joe Riehl, CEO of Metatron, conveys, “We are developing this application for Greene Concepts as a way for people to ensure proper hydration, promote quality health, and offer ease-of-use in viewing their daily water consumption numbers. One can scan the QR code of major water bottle brands such as Greene Concepts’ BE WATERTM and the information automatically loads and displays into the app based on the size of the bottle. The app will offer a free trial and subscription upgrade for reminders and other premium features to ensure the user is remaining properly hydrated. The is also being designed for the tracking of reverse osmosis water along with the manual input of municipal tap water as desired.”
Mr. Riehl continues, “Because Metatron has vast experience in web properties, mobile applications with over 2,000 apps developed we are the perfect company to design this application for Greene Concepts. The hydration app is being designed to work and connect via webpage, iPhone, android, and through a progressive wrap-around phone website to ensure total connectivity on all platforms. The app will also enable the user to create a profile automatically using: Meta (Facebook), Google, Apple ID, or e-mail.”
Amy McNally, Greene Concepts’ VP of Marketing and Sales, notes, “Water is a vital nutrient and needed for every biological function. Our hydration app will allow users to easily track their water consumption with the goal of optimal health. Metatron is a leader in the next generation of application development, and their talent and experience in app development enables us to develop a user-friendly application with a notable user interface (UI) that is customized for users’ needs. The hydration app is ideal for health-conscious consumers who need a reminder to hydrate throughout the day, or for those optimizing their hydration levels for better health.”
Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts, states, “In addition to the new hydration app, Greene Concepts is the founder of a new non-profit organization aptly named the Hydration Foundation and is in the process of filing for the Hydration Foundation’s non-profit 501(c)(3) status. The purpose of the foundation is two-fold. First, to educate the public on the importance of hydration and secondly, to assist in water relief efforts during local and regional emergencies throughout the county.”
Mr. Greene continues, “We have set this up as a non-profit because we are not looking for it to be a profit center for Greene Concepts. We would be the foundation’s initial board members but have the goal of adding additional industry professionals to the board as well. This will help us promote hydration, increase foundation awareness, maximize the input, resources, and knowledge from multiple industry leaders”. I would also like to add that regarding the hydration app, Metatron has a long history of being ahead of the technology curve and we are grateful for their support in this endeavor.”

We collaborated with Florida Turnpike Services along with the managers of each of the service centers to highlight BE WATER in a way that differentiates it from other brands while capturing the customer’s attention at a reasonable price (between $1.49 - $1.99 per bottle).

Mr. Greene concludes, “H2O Artesian has enabled BE WATER to reach a new audience with multiple pallets sold within the service centers over the past several weeks alone. H2O Artesian has secured a solid partnership with Florida Turnpike Services and all eight service plaza convenience stores while helping them to increase revenues and improve the customer’s quality of service. Thanks to Brian, Mike, their distributor team, and also the service plaza leadership teams, more and more people are realizing the immediate benefit of BE WATER for hydration and health to help satisfy them during points of travel within the state of Florida.”

Greene Concepts Upgrades and Modernizes its Marion, NC Beverage & Bottling Plant to Prepare for Accelerated Growth and Sales Volume
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/08/16/2499282/0/en/Greene-Concepts-Upgrades-and-Modernizes-its-Marion-NC-Beverage-Bottling-Plant-to-Prepare-for-Accelerated-Growth-and-Sales-Volume.html
Marion, North Carolina , Aug. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene Concepts Inc. (OTC Pink: INKW) is pleased to announce that the company continues to make additional improvements within and around its Marion, NC beverage & bottling plant. Improvements include the resurfacing of its roadway, driveway, and parking lot, repainting of the building’s interior and exterior, improving the LED lighting, power washing and painting of the entire plant, and purchasing a double forklift to quicken the load capability of its products into tractor trailers for nationwide distribution. This is an augmentation to the previously announced bottling plant enhancements in the company’s March 15, 2021 press release.
Ken Porter, Greene Concepts bottling plant manager, conveys, “As sales continue to expand nationally and locally, the company experiences increased trailer traffic to its bottling plant. Resurfacing of all surrounding roadways leading to and around the plant, along with our parking lot, prepares our production facility to better receive trailers from larger national retail outlets. These warmer summer months have increased demand for our water across the country, therefore, we have purchased a new Vesco Toyota internal combustion forklift “ToyotaLift” to allow us to load trailers twice as fast, with greater efficiency, and with less effort to help us load trailers that will carry our products to retailers across the country. This also increases both driver and local employee morale within the plant.”
Amy McNally, Vice President of Sales Marketing, notes, “Our bottling plant improvements include the professional painting and pressure washing of our entire bottling facility. Painting will begin this August 27 and conclude on September 10. This includes the painting of all walls using extra-white colored bond-plex water-based acrylic coating. The product is formulated for direct application to pre-finished medal siding and suitable for both interior and exterior use, offers outstanding adhesion, and is suitable for use in USDA inspected facilities. Also, the selected paint eliminates the use of a primer over pre-finished siding and offers a fresh look to the bottling plant.”
Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts, states, “Finally, we have completed and improved the LED lighting within the entire plant. The new lighting offers five times more lighting, and there is no unscheduled downtime due to lighting failures.”
Mr. Greene concludes: “With the replacement of light fixtures in our production and warehouse areas from standard halide fixtures to LED fixtures, the life expectancy of the lighting increases from 1.4 years to 20+ years, reduces energy consumption, and increases the quality of light. The new lighting has automated lighting restart in case of a power outage. Also, our old incandescent exit signs were replaced with LED and LED emergency pathway lighting. Last year, we completely replaced and upgraded the entire roof of the facility as well. Each of these improvements to the bottling plant positions us to manage increased sales volume at less cost and greater efficiency as we continue to expand our footprint across the country.”
The new Greene Concepts ToyotaLift forklift offers a load capacity of 4,800 pounds, a 24” load center to 131.5” maximum fork height (MFH), 10.60 mph travel speed and 104 feet per minute (FPM) lift speed. Additional benefits include an active control rear stabilizer to monitor vehicle speed, fork height, load weight and angular acceleration along with active mast function controlling to limit inadvertent lift load placements thereby reducing the possibility of tip over. The forklift also offers automatic fork leveling along with a high-powered Toyota 2.2L FY-ECS industrial gasoline engine, LED strobe light, rear view mirrors, non-marking tires, and an adjustable back-up smart alarm.

Marion, North Carolina, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene Concepts, Inc. (OTC Pink: INKW) is pleased to announce the official launch of its Happy Mellow immune support CBD beverage, now available on the Happy Mellow website. The Company previously announced the completion of its first Happy Mellow production run in its August 2, 2022 news release.
All three Happy Mellow flavors are now available for purchase on the Company’s Happy Mellow website.
The three Happy Mellow flavors being launched include:
Happy Mellow “Be Well” Blood Orange Acai (with Vitamin C)
Happy Mellow “Be Energized” Lemon Lime (with Caffeine and Vitamin D-3)
Happy Mellow “Be Calm” Plum Punch (with Vitamin B12)
Six Packs are sold for $29.99. The CBD beverages incorporate a proprietary patent pending water soluble technology that greatly enhances product effectiveness. In addition to online retail sales, the Happy Mellow website provides reference articles and research that detail the health benefits of Cannabidiol (CBD), Vitamin C, Vitamin B-12, and Vitamin D-3, all of which are contained in each Happy Mellow bottle.
“Happy Mellow is now available direct-to-consumer on our new website, and we look forward to announcing our distribution partnerships as the accounts are approved and finalized,” says Amy McNally, VP of Sales and Marketing. “As consumer trends focus on health and wellness, Happy Mellow makes a nice addition our product portfolio. In addition to providing the health benefits of CBD, each beverage contains an immune-support vitamin formulated to promote wellness for health-conscious consumers. We also have Executive Chef Justin Chinchen on staff, the founder of the Stay Hemp 4 Life brand we acquired last year, who is on the cutting edge of cannabidiol-infused beverages and dedicated to developing healthy formulations.”
Mr. Lenny Greene states, “Our launch of Happy Mellow is a significant milestone for our company and I am very thrilled. The Happy Mellow brand is manufactured in Golden, Colorado through a local co-packing firm and is a hot fill facility as it uses heat to sterilize the product and containers to assure product safety (our Marion, NC plant which produces BE WATERTM is a cold fill facility that uses extreme cold to kill any potential bacteria). Co-packing of our Happy Mellow brand reduces costs and streamlines the co-packer’s resources, existing certifications, and experience with current industrial hemp/CBD legalities.”
Mr. Greene continues, “Happy Mellow’s production meets Colorado’s industrial requirements and allows us to focus on marketing Happy Mellow to a nationwide audience. Our Happy Mellow brand ignites consumer interest based on its quality taste and water solubility technology which transports nutrients throughout the body within mere minutes. We are inviting local, regional, and national distributors to apply to distribute Happy Mellow and BE WATER. If interested, please contact us at IR@greeneconcepts.com ”

Greene Concepts Donates a Truckload of Bottled Water to Jackson, KY to Support Local Residents Following Intense Flooding and High Temperatures
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/08/05/2493378/0/en/Greene-Concepts-Donates-a-Truckload-of-Bottled-Water-to-Jackson-KY-to-Support-Local-Residents-Following-Intense-Flooding-and-High-Temperatures.html
Marion, North Carolina, Aug. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene Concepts Inc. (OTC Pink: INKW) is pleased to announce that the company has donated an entire truckload of BE WATERTM to Jackson, Kentucky to support rural residents in the surrounding areas affected by the recent flooding who have yet to receive aid.
Greene Concepts has sent a truckload of BE WATER (1,540 cases or 36,960 bottles) to the First Church of God in Jackson, Kentucky for distribution amongst the area’s residents still in need of supplies. The truckload of Be Water arrived on Thursday 8/4/22. NBC News announced in an August 1, 2022 article that the flooding has claimed the lives of at least 37 individuals because of the overwhelming rainfall that recently deluged the area.
The “1000 Year Flood”, called by The Weather Channel, delivered a record level river peak of 43.47’ in the City of Jackson, the county seat of Breathitt County. The annual average North Fork Kentucky River level for Jackson is 3.78’ with a flood level of barrier of 29’. The BE WATER donation is being distributed throughout Breathitt County and the Perry community of Buckhorn. In addition to an abundance of donations, the military-based assistance has been enormous.
“This is one of the most devastating deadly floods that we have seen in our history. These are proud, hardworking folks that just lost it all, and maybe even lost someone they love. The least we can do as human beings, as people of faith and values, is to give and do what we can to get them back on their feet,” says Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear.
Jeff Noble, County Judge Executive shares, “I’ve been through some disasters, but I have not been through a disaster that even compares to this. It’s a war zone. Communities with no homes. I mean, not even a sign of a structure. You see a piece of a roof here and see more items on the road to do with a house than you do where their houses were once at.”
Amy McNally, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, notes, “We are very grateful for the opportunity to donate BE WATER to the people of Breathitt County, so that it may be delivered to the county’s most rural residents who have yet to receive potable water. In addition to the 37 lives lost, and many others unaccounted for, the state also lost approximately 440 homes, which equates to over 31 square miles of families that have had their homes destroyed. While nothing can replace the lives lost in this tragedy, we want to do our small part in helping Kentucky residents that have been tremendously impacted.”
Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts, states, “We understand the urgency to assist those in peril and importance of getting our bottled water into their hands as quickly as possible. Many people had no advance warning of the floods, nor had any evacuation routes from the rising floodwaters. The people who reside there are proud patriots; in fact, Breathitt County is historically known as the only County in the United States to 100% volunteer for World War I and World War II.”
Lenny Greene continues, “Mayor of Jackson, Laura Thomas, is working tirelessly to provide aid to citizens in distress, and her immediate action and resilient spirit is a testament to the Kentuckian strength. It is our hope that our donation is a catalyst for others to also support the eastern Kentucky region whose residents have suffered during this unimaginable calamity. Kentucky, we are here for you.”
Due to the overwhelming in-kind donations still being processed, volunteer organizations are asking for monetary donations to support the work being done in Breathitt County. Please consider donating to the Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief where all proceeds will go towards room and board for the volunteer teams and other relief efforts helping those impacted by the deadly flood.

Greene Concepts Completes First Production Run of Happy Mellow Immune Support Beverage
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/08/02/2490755/0/en/Greene-Concepts-Completes-First-Production-Run-of-Happy-Mellow-Immune-Support-Beverage.html
Marion, North Carolina, Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greene Concepts, Inc. (OTC Pink: INKW) is proud to announce the recent and ongoing production of its newest, much-awaited immune support CBD beverage, Happy Mellow. The Company previously provided an update on Happy Mellow’s development in its April 19, 2022 press release.
Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts, first conceived of an immune support beverage in early 2020 to help consumers remain healthy. After much research and laboratory testing, the Company created advanced immune support formulations that include Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin B-12. Along with the vitamins and minerals, Happy Mellow incorporates an innovative, patent-pending, and crystal-clear water-soluble technology that was originally developed in the biopharma space. It greatly enhances the effectiveness of the CBD formula, which includes CBD, CBG and CBN. This innovative technology has an on-set time of 3 to 9 minutes, resulting in faster absorption into the bloodstream for increased health support.
The three Happy Mellow flavors being launched include:
Happy Mellow “Be Well” Blood Orange Acai (with Vitamin C)
Happy Mellow “Be Energized” Lemon Lime (with Caffeine and Vitamin D-3)
Happy Mellow “Be Calm” Plum Punch (with Vitamin B12)
“I am grateful to have finally reached this significant milestone for Greene Concepts. Our loyal shareholders have been patiently awaiting the production of Happy Mellow, and despite supply chain challenges and other difficulties that arose, I am happy to be able to finally share this tangible step for the company,” says Amy McNally, VP of Sales and Marketing. “Creating a CBD beverage from scratch is a complex process, and I am proud of our entire team’s dedication to producing an all-natural, high-quality drink that also offers immune support.”
Preparation for Happy Mellow’s production began in 2020 with market research and trend analysis. Once micro and major trends were identified, the Company began the time intensive process of flavor development and taste testing. After flavor profiles had been selected, the beverage formulation went to the process engineering department, where experts scaled-up the formulations to accommodate for the large production. Nutrition and supplement facts were calculated, ingredients were sourced, instructions were batched, and paperwork required by regulatory guidelines was submitted during preproduction. Once all of this was done, it was time to have the first production run of Happy Mellow.
Mr. Lenny Greene states, “We are elated to announce the production of our much-awaited Happy Mellow beverage. Greene Concepts is a company that is dedicated to helping people attain optimal well-being, and I am pleased to have created a drink that can support our consumers’ continued and long-term health. When I drink Happy Mellow, I have improved flexibility, a lack of inflammation, and I feel overall stress-free.”
Mr. Greene continues, “Each flavor also contains vitamins and minerals designed to help support revitalization, focus, and body relaxation. In addition, the 20 mg of CBD will help support stress relief and calmness while preserving and restoring balance to the body to help it achieve overall wellness. Happy Mellow will meet the needs of consumers across the U.S. who are looking for healthier and great tasting beverage options while remaining competitive in the marketplace. Best of all, when I drink Happy Mellow, every day feels like Saturday!”
According to Grand View Research in a January 2020 report, the global CBD beverage market size is expected to reach USD $2.8 billion by 2025 at a compound annual growth rate of 17.8%. Strong demand for cannabis beverages from millennials along with the rising popularity of wellness drinks and low sugar drink alternatives are the driving factors for the anticipated CBD beverage market growth.

The page should still come up for you even if you don't have a Facebook account. There is a post from over a week ago stating that additional cases of water are going to fill Amazon distribution centers and that because Amazon limits the amount of space available for the supply, the company cannot send over full truckloads however they are sending frequent truckloads at 1/5 capacity. Below is the specific text that the company provided:
Amazon’s algorithm dictates the amount and also the distribution centers. For example, last week we sent 300 cases (1/5 a truck) to 2 different DCs. This week it is another 150 cases to 2 different locations, and next week I have to send in 210 to another location. That is why it is important that I stay on top of their inventory management, because we aren’t really allocated a lot of floor space, which severely limits the inventory we can send.
With Amazon, shipment frequency is the key. Our shipments keep getting closer and closer together, which is great for us to continue boosting sales.
It is important to note that shipping on the website and Amazon is over $21.00 per case (average).That is why BE WATER isn’t priced less.
It is why growing our retail presence is so critical, which just takes time as we have to wait for stores to review their new product applications, they have a specific time of year for that, for when they are resetting their inventory, and for shelf space negotiation since that can be very costly as a new brand.
