Aqua Carpatica

Aqua Carpatica is a premium bottled mineral water brand sourced from the pristine environment of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. It is particularly well-known for being naturally nitrate-free and having a low mineral content, which has positioned it as a high-end choice for health-conscious consumers and families. The water is drawn from the Bajenaru and Paltinis springs, where it is bottled at the source to preserve its natural purity.

The brand was founded by Swiss-Greek businessman Jean Valvis, who had previously developed other successful beverage brands in the region. In a significant move to expand its global footprint, a strategic partnership was formed with PepsiCo. As of the current global corporate landscape, PepsiCo holds a minority stake and serves as the strategic distributor for the brand in international markets, while the original founding entity, Valvis Holding, remains central to its production and identity. This collaboration combines authentic Romanian natural resources with one of the world's most powerful distribution networks.
