Cachaça Yaguara winner of the 2015 WorldStar Awards
O-I bottle receives highest honor in the packaging industry
Perrysburg, Ohio (June17, 2015) - The striking bottle developed by O-I for
cachaça Yaguara recently won the WorldStar Award, the most important packaging
award in the world, organized by the World Packaging Organization. The ceremony
was held during the IPACK-IMA fair in Milan, Italy, awarding 148 winners from
33 countries. Eighty-four of those winners attended the ceremony to receive
their awards.
Produced in O-I's plant at Soacha, Colombia, the Yaguara package was created in
a design partnership between renowned U.K. artist Brian Clarke and the O-I
Covet(TM) team. The design of this outstanding bottle was inspired by the iconic
Copacabana sidewalks, and supports the high-end positioning of this cachaça
brand in the local and global markets.
Since 1970, the World Packaging Organization has given awards to numerous new
packages from all around the world. In the WorldStar Awards 2015, 266 entries
were received from 38 countries, and Yaguara was one of four Brazilian products
that won this important recognition of packaging excellence.
"We have been very pleased with the continuing attention and awards that the
Yaguara bottle has gained in many markets," said Stephanie Johnston, Covet's
general manager. "We think of this beautiful bottle as a business card for
Covet. This WorldStar award reinforces our commitment to continue breaking the
boundaries to connect with consumers in a powerful way that only glass can do."
WorldStar awards illustrate the continual advancement of packaging design and
technology, and create a living standard of international packaging excellence.
"Hearty congratulations to our customer, Carmosina, for this important
achievement, and to the team involved in Yaguara's production," said Johnston.
Yaguara is currently available in Brazil, North America, and the U.K.

About Yaguara Cachaça
The creation of Cachaça Yaguara is rooted in the friendship of three young
entrepreneurs. Thyrso and Thiago Camargo met Hamilton Lowe during their
formative years, becoming fast friends during their time at school together.
Over the years, Hamilton often travelled from his native England to visit the
brothers at their home in Brazil, when they would occasionally visit Thyrso and
Thiago's grandfather - a man who has spent his life perfecting his own cachaça,
"Cachaça do Barba." It was on one such visit to Paraná that they realized there
was an opportunity to bridge that family cachaça tradition with modern Brazil.
They hatched a plan to create their own cachaça and Yaguara Cachaça was born.
