The Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce continues to celebrate the 2021 award winners! Congratulations to Autauga County’s own MRaine Industries, LLC, producer of Eleven86 Real Artesian Water, for being named 2021 Industry of the Year. Thank you for your commitment to investment and growth in our local community!
MRaine CEO Marquis Forge started the company in 2018, inspired by a promise to himself – “I promise to never forget where I come from, and I will return to help rebuild.”
He has fulfilled his promise by building a state-of-the-art water bottling plant in his hometown of Autaugaville, Alabama. From time spent in local schools, sports teams, and relationships built in a variety of businesses in and outside of Alabama, MRaine is impacting communities in a positive way while gaining industry success.
Their water is sold in eleven states and online to 48 states. Since May 2018, MRaine has shipped 20 million bottles, with 10 million of those bottles shipped in the last nine months. Here is an overview of their growth:
2018: 632,000 bottles shipped
2019: 2,500,000 bottles shipped
2020: 7,200,000 bottles shipped
January 2021- September 2021: More than 10,000,000 bottles shipped
The MRaine team has been a Budweiser Alabama Distribution Partner since March 2018 and have been featured in a variety of news articles.
Also in 2018, MRaine was awarded as the RSA official water within the Marriott Hotel and Convention Halls, selected as the Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Emerging Small Business of the Year, and recognized as the Alabama Small Business Awards’ Silver Emerging Small Business of the Year.
In 2019, this company was named the Alabama official state water, received H-E-B Grocery authorization, and celebrated Eleven86 Real Artesian Water Day in Houston.
MRaine is thankful for their working relationship with the Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce and other partnerships for supporting their business.
