Beverage Directory goes online

Zenith International and Zenith International Publishing have compiled the first free-to-search online directory for the European non-alcoholic beverage industry.

In partnership with UNESDA, the Union of European Beverages Associations, The Beverage Directory offers a fast and easy way to find information on more than 5,000 companies – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – making it the most reliable and comprehensive resource for beverage professionals.

UNESDA Secretary General Alain Beaumont said: “Congratulations on producing this easily usable tool."

The website – www.thebeveragedirectory.com  – was launched at SIAL on 20 October 2008 and will be used as a daily reference tool by thousands of people working across the non-alcoholic beverages industry and beyond.

It was originally planned that a printed version of the The Beverage Directory would also be available this Autumn, but this has now been cancelled in favour of the more easily updated online version.

“At last, a one-stop-shop for all the contacts you need to do business in the non-alcoholic beverages industry in Europe and beyond,” said Zenith International Publishing Group Editorial Director, Bill Bruce. “Inclusion in The Beverage Directory is absolutely free, and enhancements to add logos and additional information as well as online sponsorship and advertising opportunities are all sensitively priced. As a resource, it need never be out of date, as companies can make changes to their own details online.

“In partnership with UNESDA, this useful, living internet resource represents a unique opportunity for companies to ensure that they are in front of the whole industry all day, every day.”
