FloWater Handed Gold Stevie Award at Paris Gala

Global honor highlights FloWater’s leadership in delivering clean, great-tasting drinking water people can trust, while reducing reliance on single-use plastic.

PARIS, France, October 30, 2026 – FloWater, a US-based company specializing in advanced drinking water purification and hydration technology, received the Gold Stevie® Award last week at a celebration at the Pullman Hotel in Paris. The award was presented in front of hundreds of business leaders, honorees, and guests who gathered to recognize achievements and innovation.

FloWater was named Thought Leadership Organization of the Year – Business Services at the 23rd International Business Awards®, commending its efforts to promote water quality, healthier hydration, sustainability, and access to clean water.

Press manager Dave Noble accepted the award for FloWater and described it as an important milestone in the company’s journey, which began in 2013 with a goal to deliver safer, cleaner, and better-tasting water to people at home, work, and play.

“We are delighted and honored to receive this prestigious international recognition,” Noble told the gathering. “Since our launch in 2013, the FloWater team in Denver, Colorado has been guided by a simple belief: everyone deserves access to clean, great-tasting drinking water they can trust, without harming the planet in the process.

“Today, FloWater Refill Stations have delivered more than 1.6 billion refills of clean, great-tasting purified water, hydrating communities across America. That’s billions of moments when people chose water they could trust, while eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles. It’s proof that better water can create a healthier, more sustainable future.”

FloWater Co-Founder and CEO Rich ‘Raz’ Razgaitis said the award reinforces the important role businesses can play in addressing one of the most fundamental public health challenges: access to clean, trusted drinking water.

“Winning a Gold Stevie is more than recognition of what FloWater has achieved. It sends a powerful signal that businesses can succeed by solving problems that actually matter. And few things matter more than the water we drink every single day,” said Razgaitis.

“Clean drinking water shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be something everyone can trust. At FloWater, we’re proving that Advanced Purification can transform ordinary tap water into water people genuinely love to drink. And when you make the better choice the one people actually want, you create real change. Better hydration, healthier people, and fewer plastic bottles. That’s what FloWater is all about.”

The International Business Awards are among the world’s leading business awards programs, recognizing achievements across industries and nations.

For FloWater, the Gold Stevie is the latest in a series of international accolades commending its bold mission to transform how people access and enjoy clean, great-tasting drinking water, combining 7x Advanced Purification technology with a commitment to healthier hydration and reducing reliance on single-use plastic bottles.
