The manufacturer/bot- tler of the water is Urwasser GmbH, a company belonging to Molkerei Gropper. Gropper, previously known as a pro- ducer of retail brands involving milk, yoghurt products, juices, smoothies and mixed coffee drinks, is entering a new market segment with mineral water. The “riese Urwasser” [ancient crater water] comes from the Marienquelle in Bissingen, a town in Nördlinger Ries with a landscape created by the impact of an asteroid. Chosen as packaging is a 100% rPET, slightly blue shimmering, slim and tapered bottle. The sleeve label explains the history of the water and is suitably decorated. The bottle is sealed with a light blue screw seal with guarantee band. www.rieser-urwasser.de Limited Edition from hella At regular intervals, German company Hansa Mineralbrunnen GmbH is launching especially tasty flavours of its drinks brand “hella” as “Limited Editions”.
