customers. Eden Springs’ vision is to become

Every European workplace’s favorite water and coffee service provider

Eden Springs, a leading European provider of drinking solutions for the workplace,

offers a broad range of bottle-fed water coolers, plumbed-in water coolers and

PET bottles as well as a complete portfolio of coffee products and services.

Established in 1997, Eden launched its first bottle water cooler

(BWC) operation in Poland before entering the Swiss market in

1999, which then became the base for the company’s European

headquarters. New markets followed in Spain, France, the UK and

a number of other European countries to bring today’s total to 18.

In 2008 Eden launched in point-of-use (POU) plumbed-in water

filter systems, which along with a strategy of organic growth and

acquisitions of various sizes, helped Eden to become the leading

water cooler brand in Europe.

In 2010, Eden added office coffee solutions (OCS) to its portfolio, providing employers

with a «one-stop» shop for all their water and coffee needs.

In 2012, Eden, renamed «The Water and Coffee Company», expanded its offer with the

launch of its own private-label coffee brand, Edenissimo.

In 2014, Eden acquired Nestlé Waters Direct businesses in Portugal, Germany,

Netherlands and Russia, and in Poland in 2015. Eden has demonstrated on-going, strong

financial performance on both the top and bottom line.

Going forward, Eden’s strategy for continued growth entails investments into innovation,

sales and marketing, service excellence, as well as via selective acquisitions of water and

coffee companies.

and more productive company.
