It is no wonder that aQuellė was recently voted South Africa's ‘most-loved’ drink in the Askafrika ICON Brands survey. It is making a lasting impact on communities and uplifts communities in many ways. Over the past 25 years, aQuellė has experienced tremendous growth and is widely regarded (and awarded) as a leader in excellence and innovation across the packaged water industry.
Awards within the packaged water industry are a prestigious testament to excellence and innovation, honouring the finest achievements across all categories. Obtaining such accolades serves as a significant means to elevate a brand's stature and establish recognition on both national and international stages. A particularly remarkable aspect of receiving this global award is the recognition of the aQuellė spring water brand, established several decades ago with the noble mission of supporting humanitarian and missionary initiatives. Central to its mission is the commitment to uplift the communities in rural KwaZulu-Natal, where the heart of the business lies in its bottling plants.
As the largest employer in the region, aQuellė provides jobs for hundreds of individuals, most of whom hail from the surrounding rural areas. This creates a vital economic lifeline, especially in a region where employment opportunities are limited. Each employee is afforded comprehensive training that enables them to operate advanced machinery, carry out stringent quality control procedures, and adopt exemplary manufacturing practices, ensuring that they can contribute effectively to the company’s success.
Nestled in the picturesque Emseni farm at the core of KwaZulu-Natal are two of aQuellė’s water bottling plants. The first of these facilities has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from a modest 360 square meters to an impressive 18,000 square meters in just a few years. The latest plant, opened in early 2021, boasts cutting-edge filling technology and utilises state-of-the-art machinery and processes, ensuring the highest standards in water bottling. aQuellė’ also has a plant in the western cape. The spring water sourced is of exceptional quality.
aQuellė is community-based and contributes to society in various ways. It reaches out through sponsorships and various outreaches, including sustainable clean-ups across South Africa, food-and-water distribution programs, and sponsorships. The company launched the Together, Let's Beat Diabetes awareness campaign a few years ago, which has greatly impacted society. Collaborating with others, it holds workshops to explain how Diabetes affects the human body and creates awareness for this horrible disease.
