LARQ helps people access pristine drinking water easily and sustainably through innovative technology combined with inspirational design.

The Company was founded in 2017 and is based in Foster City, California.

LARQ's product and technology portfolio includes premium-class self-cleaning water bottles and pitchers with UV-C purification and water filtration technology. The Company's products are sold direct-to-consumer as well as through premium retailers.

BRITA sought a fast-growing brand in the active wellness sector to expand its position in premium water bottles. Based in Germany, BRITA has a leading position in the global water filtration market, with its products distributed in 70 countries.

Wildridge Partners team members advised LARQ on its sale to BRITA, delivering a strong outcome for a founder-owned consumer brand.
