Eden wins multiple awards

The Eden group was recognized for performance excellence with several Aqua Awards at this year’s Watercoolers Europe (WE) conference and fair, held 19-21 October in Paris, France. 

The Aqua Awards competition is the biggest in Europe dedicated to the watercooler industry and recognizes members’ achievements in production, marketing and sales. 

Eden took home awards in three categories including:

• Best Product Innovation - winner, Click & Drink, MeyEden (IL)

The winners were chosen by online voting by all WE industry members. In addition to these awards, the Eden Group received the Golden Bottle Award in recognition of the company’s long-term involvement with and support of the association. 

Two of Eden’s executives addressed the participants during the association’s conference and workshops. Jean-Marc Bollinger, Executive Chairman, UK & Poland, spoke on “Acquisition & Growth, the Challenges of Integrating Acquisitions while Growing Organically”. Robert Kadijevic, Managing Director, France and president of the French association of watercoolers (AFIFAE), spoke about research done by AFIFAE on “Water Drinking habits in the workplace and workplace Hydration”. 

Raanan Zilberman, CEO of Eden Springs, commented, “The WE conference is an important one, bringing together the key players to create awareness and business opportunities in the industry. Eden’s leadership in the industry was demonstrated both with the participation of two speakers during the conference as well as with the receipt of several awards.
