Wimm-Bill-Dann Acquires Essentuki Water Production and
Bottling Facilities

Press-release

Moscow, Russia – September 9th, 2003 – Wimm-Bill-Dann Mineral Water Division today announced the acquisition of 100% of OOO Healing Spring, the company that produces ‘Essentuki’ brand mineral water and OOO Geyser, owner of Essentuki water wells, in a transaction worth approximately US$4.1 million. Famous in Soviet times, Essentuki is still one of Russia’s best-known mineral water brands. The number of Wimm-Bill-Dann manufacturing facilities has now reached 24.

Healing Spring (Essentuki) was founded in January 1998 to bottle and market natural mineral water. Since July 2000, this manufacturing facility has been bottling the mineral water brands Essentuki No 4, Essentuki No 17 and Essentuki No 20. Its production capacity is about 6,000 units per hour. Geyser (Essentuki) is the owner of the natural mineral water wells. The total ground area occupied by the facilities is 5.3 hectares and the production site area is 1,800 square meters.

Essentuki mineral water is bottled in the classic 0.5 liter screw-cap bottles, long associated with the brand. Under Russian quality standards (“GOST”) only the original dark-green bottles are used in the filling process, ensuring the high quality of the final product.

Commenting on the announcement, Michael Kondyrev, Head of Wimm-Bill-Dann Mineral Water Division, said: “Having recently entered the fast expanding water market, we remain true to our long-term strategy of providing our customers with the highest quality goods in each segment we are present in. With the acquisition of Essentuki, we are not just acquiring highest quality natural water wells, healing springs and bottling facilities at the source, but an excellent and well-known brand name. Essentuki is a welcome addition to our diverse portfolio of trusted and easily recognized brands.”

Sergey Pavlov, Marketing Director of Wimm-Bill-Dann Mineral Water Division, added: “We will stay true to the Essentuki brand and preserve all the healing qualities of this famous water. Essentuki is the only mineral water on the Russian market, which meets the strict GOST requirements for quality standards. This acquisition is truly a win-win situation for our consumers.”

In March this year Wimm-Bill-Dann officially launched its bottled water factory in the Novgorod region, producing still and sparkling natural water under the ‘Zapovednik. Valdai’ brand.
