Hong Kong's long, humid summers make pure, clean drinking water an absolute necessity - something Watsons Water realised 100 years ago. The Group operates the world's largest distilled water plant and fully integrated manufacturing facilities, making it the only company in Hong Kong to produce its own convenience and bulk packaging for retail, office and domestic supplies. Watsons Water has advanced its reputation throughout the region as the purest and most sought-after portable drinking water. Every aspect of the production process, from bottle making to cap design, is researched and tested to guarantee the highest quality standards, ensuring total hygiene. Celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2003, Watsons Water is the market leader in Hong Kong. The brand is now also widely available in China, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. It has achieved market dominance through an ongoing commitment to quality, reinforced through innovation and aggressive marketing. The division is also the largest distributor of bottled mineral waters in Hong Kong, with a full range of brands that includes Pierval, Spa and San Benedetto. The brand is well-placed to become a leading thirst-quencher in the Mainland. Watsons Water set up its first water operation in China in 1993 with the establishment of a water plant in Beijing and since then has become a major presence in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
