ABOUT
PRIMO WATER CORPORATION
Primo Water
is a leading pure-play water solutions provider in
North America
and
Europe
and generated approximately
$2.2 billion
in annual revenue in 2022.
Primo Water
operates largely under a recurring revenue model in the large format water category (defined as 3 gallons or greater). This business strategy is commonly referred to as "razor-razorblade" because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. The razor in
Primo Water's
revenue model is its industry leading line-up of innovative water dispensers, which are sold through approximately 10,000 retail locations and online at various price points. The dispensers help increase household and business penetration which drives recurring purchases of
Primo Water's
razorblade offering or water solutions.

razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business,
Primo Water
delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its 21-country footprint direct to customers, whether at home or to businesses. Through its Water Exchange business, customers visit retail locations and purchase a pre-filled bottle of water. Once consumed, empty bottles are exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a ticket that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle. Water Exchange is available in approximately 17,500 retail locations. Through its Water Refill business, customers refill empty bottles at approximately 23,500 self-service refill drinking water machines.
Primo Water
also offers water filtration units across its 21-country footprint.
