Tag: Evian history

The first commercial bottling of water began in England in 1622, over two hundred years before Evian established its bottling facility. While the Evian brand is a global icon today, its entry into the market followed a long and fascinating history of bottled water pioneers.

Evian water was first bottled in 1826, a century before either Coca-Cola or PepsiCo became global beverage giants. So, is Evian a Coke or Pepsi product? The answer is neither, as the brand is owned by the French multinational corporation, Danone, though distribution partnerships have led to consumer confusion.
