Primo is a leading pure-play water solutions provider in North America, Europe and Israel focused on healthy and sustainable hydration solutions. We operate largely under a recurring razor/razorblade revenue model. The razor in our revenue model is our industry leading line-up of sleek and innovative water dispensers, which are sold through major retailers and online at various price points or leased to customers. Our razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill.
Through our leading Water Direct business, we deliver sustainable hydration solutions across our 21-country footprint direct to the customer’s door, whether at home or to commercial businesses. Through our leading Water Exchange and Water Refill businesses, we offer purified pre-filled water in multi-gallon format containers at over 13,000 locations and self-service drinking water refill units at approximately 22,000 locations, respectively, in North America. We also offer water filtration units across our 21-country footprint representing a top five position.
Our water solutions expand consumer access to purified, spring and mineral water to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle while simultaneously reducing plastic waste and pollution.
Our vision is to be the leading provider of good-for-you beverages wherever our customers live and work around the world.
While Primo’s (formerly Cott) history dates back to the early 1920s, we have completely transformed our business over the last five+ years and can proudly say that present day Primo is a pure-play water company with a significantly improved business profile positioned to benefit from sustained growth expected in the bottled water industry.

At Shedd Aquarium, we spark compassion, curiosity and conservation for the aquatic animal world.
As a neighborhood partner and global collaborator, we’re a vital resource in the areas of animal care, conservation research and learning, and it’s all because we have a passion for animals, their habitats and the planet we share.
It takes a lot of people—with a lot of different skill sets and talents—to operate our world-class aquarium 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That’s why we look for the “it’s–not-a-job-it’s-a-passion” type of employee.

Blockchain technology represents one of the greatest generational opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors...
Tally Capital is a private investment firm focused on blockchain-enabled technology.
The name *tally* is derived from tally sticks, a form of currency initiated by King Henry I around 1100 in medieval England. The system of tally marks consisted of notches cut along the edge of a polished wooden stick to signify denominations, and then split in half so each counterparty had a receipt of the transaction — this is analogous to the way public key and private key technology behaves in Bitcoin.
Over the course of 726 years, the British Empire was built and financed under the tally stick system, making it one of the most successful forms of currency in history. The Bank of England at its formation attacked the tally stick system as they realized it was money outside the power of the money changers. By 1834, the tallies were ordered to be burned by the Bank of England, and in the process the fire went out of control and nearly destroyed Parliament.
