DENVER, Oct. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewAge, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBEV), the Colorado-based direct-to-consumer (D2C) organic and healthy products company, announced that it has been recognized as Company of the Year and Most Innovative Company of the Year in the recent American Best in Business Awards.

The American Best in Business Awards is the premier awards program in North America that honors the most outstanding businesses and professionals in every industry in America. All organizations of all sizes with at least one office in the United States from startups, to government, to public and private companies, to profit and non-profit firms — are eligible to compete in the American Best in Business competition in a wide range of categories that honor achievements in every aspect of business. More than 35 expert judges from a broad spectrum of different industries participated in the judging process.

In a particularly competitive year, NewAge was named as the Grand Winner as a result of the company’s significant achievements over the past year, one of only 10 companies out of the hundreds of thousands of entries received in the year. NewAge was recognized in Consumer Goods and shares this highly esteemed honor with IBM, Wolters Kluwer and other esteemed organizations in other industries.

In addition to being honored as the Grand Winner, NewAge also won 10 other awards, including being named Consumer Products Company of the Year and Most Innovative Company of the Year, following on the similar acknowledgment earlier in the year in the Global Golden Bridge Awards.

Karima McDaniel, NewAge’s recently appointed Chief Marketing Officer mentioned, “We are proud to be recognized again as an industry leader. Innovation and disruption is at the heart of everything we do, as evidenced by our recent discovery of how Noni inhibits the binding of spike proteins to human cells. This honor from the American Best in Business Awards is a welcomed endorsement that NewAge is seen as changing the e-commerce landscape, uncompromisingly building better-for-you products, and creating a leading social selling force around the world. We are extremely grateful for this recognition and very proud to be collecting additional awards.”
