MISSISSAUGA, ON, Canada – Canada Dry Mott’s Inc., doing business as Keurig Dr Pepper Canada (“KDP Canada”), announced today an exclusive long-term agreement with CAB CAN Limited, Inc. for the sale and distribution of Electrolit, a premium hydration beverage, in Canada. This partnership marks KDP Canada’s entry into the sports hydration and dehydration beverage category, reinforcing its commitment to offer innovative products to Canadian consumers.

“Crafted with precision and backed by science”, Electrolit has become a top 5 trademark in the U.S. sports hydration category, a pivotal segment within refreshment beverages. Leveraging its more than 70-year history and Hispanic heritage, as well as its leading market position in Mexico, the brand has the potential to flourish in Canada as a new option for consumers.

Key features of Electrolit include:

  • Provides rapid hydration to help the body replenish and recover after physical activity, intense heat, and promotes health and well-being.
  • Scientifically formulated with magnesium, potassium, calcium, glucose, and sodium lactate plus six ions for optimal electrolyte absorption and performance.
  • Will be available in Canada in a range of seven great-tasting flavours, including two zero-sugar options.
