"We're thrilled to partner with NuZee, Inc. to help bring our vision for Gevalia(R) to life." "This is our first co-packing agreement with a global food manufacturer, and we believe that the size of the client and the potential opportunity provide NuZee with significant momentum," said Masa Higashida, NuZee's Chief Executive Officer.
