SodaStream International Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer and distributor of home carbonation systems, based in Airport City, Israel, has entered into a strategic agreement with Cott Beverages Inc., a subsidiary of Cott Corp., Tampa, Fla., to produce flavors made specifically for the SodaStream carbonation system.
