The Israeli soda giant Sodastream has picked up some giant U.S. interest, according to a statement released by Whirlpool.
Whirlpool has announced the partnership with Sodastream in order to create a home carbonation machine in order to expand its line of products.
Sodastream machines let people make sparkling water at home, with a variety of concentrated flavors that can be added to create different drinks. The company has been making an effort to expand its U.S. business. Earlier this month, PepsiCo denied rumors that it plans to buy the company.
KitchenAid is known for its colorful mixers and other kitchen utensils. The partnership with Israel’s Sodastream International will give it access to the rapid growth in the home carbonation market.
"Working with Sodastream brings its best-in-class technology with the elegant design of the firm to deliver a quality product to our consumers around the world," David Elliott, CEO of KitchenAid small appliances, said in a statement.
The home carbonation machine is expected to be in stores in the fourth quarter.
KitchenAid is a brand of Whirlpool Corp.
