Mineral water Spring – Bottling Factory – Brand to develop
Saint John’s Water, founded in 2012 on European Standards, is a factory which extracts, fills and packs high- quality mineral water. The factory is located in Western Serbia built in 2015, productions started in 2017, Saint John’s Water, brand failed to establish itself as a new brand, and this situation, coupled with the challenges posed by the Covid period, prevented significant sales growth. Faced with these obstacles, the new shareholder has decided to suspend production completely in 2021. Nevertheless, the plant facilities are currently being monitored, with regular equipment maintenance and commissioning tests carried out every quarter. The factory is fully operational and ready to produce again.
Within this factory, the Company exploits 2 wells, 1 production well and 1 exploration well for a maximum combined capacity of 1,8 Billion liters per year.
Two independent production lines (P.E.T and Glass) are installed in the factory with a capacity of 132 M bottles per year.
The company owns a total area of land of 49 000 m² which can lead to a potential extention of the factory (current facilities 5 700 m²).

The water
The groundwater is low mineralized, bicarbonate-calcium-magnesium type, of excellent and stable quality.
Mineraleo uses 2 wells to extract water from the source :
Well 1 : Production well (120m depth) with a maximum capacity of 500M litres a year
Well 2 : Exploration drillhole (430m depth) with a maximum capacity of 1.3Bn litres a year
The production well operates with a capacity of 8.5 l/s which, at the annual level, amounts to nearly 270 million liters of water ready to be bottled. If necessary, it is possible to build additional wells at the existing source, which would increase the production capacity of the factory.
