Ambo Mineral Water has been bottled and marketed since 1930 and is
considered the market leader in Ethiopia.
The source of Ambo Mineral Water is a thermo-mineral spring, rich in
natural calcium, magnesium, potassium, bicarbonates and carbon
dioxide. The water originates in a volcanic fissure which then
peculates through mountainous terrain eventually being tapped at the
springs in Ambo Senkele, 130 km from
Addis Ababa, capital city of
Ethiopia. These springs are located on the
cross roads of an ancient, major trade route, and have been
revitalizing travelers, traders, nomads, soldiers and settlers from
the beginning of humankind.
Ambo is a unique product, used by today's consumers as a thirst
quenching soft-drink, discerning mixer and after meal revitalize. It
comes from a unique part of the world and is regarded as an 'Ethiopian
Icon'.
The growing demand for Ambo both locally and abroad has resulted in
new investments and plans to further expand capacity and packaging
variations to meet and exceed consumer
expectations. |
