History
editIn 1973, the company Perrier from France in association with local investors decided to build a mineral water plant in Iran.
In 1977, after all the installations were done, they started some testing and analysis of the water, and in 1978 the company started to present its products to the market as the first mineral water company in Iran. In 1998, Group Castel from France became partners with the Iranian owners and they started to grow the firm. In 2006, group Danone from France (the leader of mineral water in the world, owner of brands such as EVIAN & VOLVIC) bought Group Castel's share. Today, Damavand water is the leader of more than 370 MB per year. It has around 400 employees with 7 warehouses across the country.
