Gilberto Zaina, CEO of Acqua Dolomia, states: “We are closing 2018 perfectly in line with our provisional goals. We are positive that in 2020 we will be able to reach our target of 150 million bottles produced. DOLOMIA2020 was considered an ambitious goal in 2016, but at the moment it is actually within reach. An additional boost in our growth is connected to our new line Premium. Starting from January our clients will find on the shelves of the large retail chains a new line with a fresh design featuring the shapes and lines typical of our Friulian Dolomites. This is a precise positioning decision of our brand on the large retail chains to clearly share with our clients the origin of our water and to enhance the mise en place, even at home. As regards exports, we expect a strong growth over the next years, and we expect also good results on the Chinese market, where we are currently working with a distributor with strong roots in the area and that counts shares from Alibaba group. We will soon land in India too. The Indian market is very interesting for the sector of mineral waters. In 2019 we will invest on our headquarters, enhancing the glass production line with special care to environmental sustainability. The growth of our company is connected to our territory: we not only take care of economic and occupational aspect and support sports and cultural activities, but we also care for the promotion of our naturalistic resources. We have been working to strengthen the connection with the Organization of the National Park of the Friulian Dolomites to enhance the tourist offer in our wonderful Val Cimoliana, because we are ambassadors of the natural beauties of the Dolomites, part of UNESCO heritage”.
