Golden Grail Technology, which has not yet announced what kind of investment it is making, noted that area expert Teyo Branwell has joined the team. In addition, Branwell will be primarily responsible for growing revenue and will also oversee the transformation of Golden Grail’s sales model to align with the company’s ethos and commitment to sustainability and functionality in the canned beverage sector.

Branwell also brings nearly 20 years of beverage sales experience with premium brands, including BodyArmor, Bang Energy and more than seven years with Coca-Cola. “We, as Golden Grail, are very happy about the news of Teyo joining the team. He brings business experience that can only be gained by taking over generationally in other businesses,” said Steven Hoffman, CEO of Golden Grail.

“With Teyo’s experience, industry knowledge and connections, it will become a driving force in opening distribution doors and propelling the Golden Grail portfolio forward in growth and visibility,” the head added.

“A dynamite base of distribution and retail partners was established this year and I look forward to the continued growth of the Golden Grail portfolio through this network in 2023. I am excited to be a part of the continued growth of Golden Grail and the Sway Energy brand,” said Branwell.

Golden Grail’s growing portfolio includes eight brands: Cause Water, KOZ Water, Sketch Can by Tickle Water, Tickle Water, Spider Energy Drink, Scorpion Energy Hemp/CBD, Trevi Fruit Essence Water and the recently acquired Sway Energy.
