New AgeNewAge Industries’ CEO and majority shareholder, Ken Baker, recently announced that in early 2013 he will sell an additional 10 percent of NewAge’s shares to the company’s ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), raising the total of the ESOP’s ownership to 40 percent.

“This action ensures that additional shares are available to team members who are entering the plan,” stated Baker in a December 13 company-wide meeting. “The shares will be purchased by the ESOP through an internal company loan, just like we did when we launched the ESOP in 2006.” The meeting continued with Baker noting that 2013 holds many promising opportunities. NewAge’s AdvantaPure product line continues to grow, particularly in the biopharmaceutical market where customers are adopting single-use technology. The company is also putting increased focus on its industrial business with the recent hiring of a new divisional manager, Stephen Kuhns, who is actively connecting with customers, seeking opportunities for expansion and looking into new markets.
