DS Services acquires California bottled water company Sequoia

Atlanta-based DS Services of America Inc., a bottled water company, said it has acquired a California bottled water and filtration service company.

Financial terms of the deal to acquire Sequoia Spring Water of Compton were not disclosed.

In addition to bottled water under the Crystal Springs, Deep Rock and Sparkletts brands, DS Services provides brewed beverages, water coolers and filtration services.

DS Services has been expanding on the West Coast. Last August the company announced it was acquiring the office coffee and water filtration service divisions of Everett, Wash.-based Cascade Coffee Inc.

In December, DS Services said it would acquire Splash Water Inc.’s home and office bottled water delivery business, which serves the Los Angeles area.

New York-based private equity firm Crestview Partners last year acquired DS Services, which was founded in 2003. Crestview Partners did not say how much it paid for the company.
