Founded in Fargo, North Dakota in 2017, ax-water is an all natural, American made, health and wellness beverage taking the US by storm. Harnessing the power of the aronia berry, ax-water is the brainchild of Blake Johnson, an agricultural and biosystems engineer and Wade Gronwold, entrepreneur and athletic trainer. Made from all natural ingredients, and containing only 30 calories, ax-water packs all the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of the aronia berry into 16 oz.
In 2017 at the 14th Annual Zenith Bottle Water Congress in Barcelona, Spain ax-water took home three awards — 2nd place for Best Functional Beverage, 2nd place for Best New Water Concept and 3rd place for Best New Brand/Brand Extension.
