We are dedicated to improving global health by increasing access to safe drinking water. Responding to the fascination with designer labels, branding and healthy lifestyle VODA WATER launched into the mix early in 2016 with niche branded water, servicing exclusively the burgeoning market .VODA WATER recognized that a gap existed in the Kenyan market for private label bottled water. Encouraged by overseas research, we set about securing a premium supply chain and system. With a commitment to service this market ,VODA WATER opened for business and launched the private branding concept in May 2014.VODA clients include agreements to supply some of the countries most respected corporates from a wide variety of industries, bars & restaurants,schools,churches and event of all ranges and magnitude.<\/span><\/p>\n

Confirmations direct from the market, that the private label concept is both innovative and welcome. Research confirms that corporate branded bottled water is a powerful sales and marketing tool for Organizations. Internationally, this form of marketing has met with huge approval. The water industry continues to mature and become more sophisticated which bodes well for the private labeled sector which continues to enjoy a rapidly increasing market share for custom branded water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
