AMASS Brands Group Completes Nasdaq Direct Listing; Common Stock to Begin Trading Under the Symbol ‘AMSS’
SANTA MARIA, Calif., May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMASS Brands Group (“AMASS” or “the Company”), a premium, multi-category beverage platform spanning non-alcohol, functional, and alcohol 2.0 products, today announced that AMASS Brands Group’s common stock (the “common stock”) will begin trading today on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the stock ticker symbol “AMSS”. The direct listing did not involve the issuance of new common stock by the Company.
“Today marks a defining milestone for AMASS as we begin trading on Nasdaq,” said Mark Thomas Lynn, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AMASS. “We’ve built a differentiated, multi-brand platform positioned at the intersection of several of the fastest-growing segments in the beverage industry. As a public company, we are focused on scaling our portfolio, expanding distribution, and executing on our strategy to build a leading next-generation beverage company.”
AMASS has established a diversified, multi-category beverage platform with a portfolio of nine core brands spanning non-alcoholic alternatives, functional wellness products, and premium, better-for-you alcoholic beverages. Since inception, the Company has generated more than $80 million in cumulative revenue, sold over 5.7 million bottles, and expanded its distribution footprint to more than 40,000 points of sale. The Company’s portfolio includes brands such as Good Twin Non-Alcoholic Wine and Summer Water Rosé.
The Company operates within several of the fastest-growing segments of the global beverage industry, supported by long-term consumer trends around health, moderation, and ingredient transparency. The U.S. non-alcoholic beverage market alone is projected to grow from approximately $169.6 billion in 2024 to $246.9 billion by 20321, while the functional beverage category is expected to reach $71 billion by 20302. With a diversified, cross-category portfolio, the Company believes it is well positioned to capture shifting consumption patterns and drive growth through continued innovation and strategic acquisitions.

About AMASS Brands Group
AMASS Brands Group (Nasdaq: AMSS) is a next-generation beverage platform built around the brands with the goal of defining how modern consumers drink — and increasingly, how they don't. The Company's portfolio spans non-alcohol, functional, and alcohol 2.0 categories, with standout brands across each: Good Twin Non-Alcoholic Wine, a top-10 non-alcoholic wine in the U.S. and one of the fastest-growing in the category; and Summer Water Rosé, the zero-sugar, #1 selling premium domestic rosé in the US according to Nielsen — among others across the portfolio. As moderation trends accelerate, AMASS believes it is positioned to benefit structurally rather than reactively — with margin discipline, cohesive brand architecture, and the multi-brand scalability that makes AMASS increasingly relevant to strategic acquirers in an evolving beverage landscape.
