Since April this year, the Hollywood couple <a href=\"\/en\/81645\/air-up-ashton-kutcher-and-mila-kunis-invest-in-drinks-startup\/\">Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher<\/a> invested in the drinking bottle startup. Israeli-American entrepreneur Guy Oseary has also secured shares in Air Up, as the company announced on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6947813362265149440\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn page<\/a> announced. With its entry into the US market, the startup claims to be completing the largest expansion step in its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air Up wants to relocate production to Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Air Up already employs 35 people at its US office in Santa Monica, Southern California. Its global headquarters will remain in Munich. The startup also announced that it plans to relocate most of its drinking bottle production from Asia to Europe by the end of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2018, the startup builds drinking bottles that can be fitted with scent capsules distributed by the Munich-based company itself. The bottles are filled with tap water. When consumed, the scent capsules add flavor to the water, even though you&#039;re only consuming pure water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-founders Lena J\u00fcngst and Tim J\u00e4ger wrote their bachelor&#039;s thesis on the prototype of the drinking bottle. Fabian Schlang, who also studied the topic as part of his studies, participated in the founding process. Jannis Koppitz and Simon N\u00fcesch joined the company shortly afterwards as co-founders.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drinking bottle startup Air Up is now available in the United States.
