Breck Speed of Mountain Valley Spring Co. accepts the award for Arkansas Business of the Year (Category III, 76-300 employees) on Feb. 22, 2007 at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.
Speed is chairman and CEO of the Hot Springs, Ark., company.
Mountain Valley Spring Water is the flagship brand of a company that was founded in 1871. It has a storied history, including establishing one of the first franchises in American business in 1894 and becoming the first bottled water brand that was available coast to coast by 1920. But it remains a small player in an $11 billion industry dominated by giants like Nestle and Coca-Cola.
