The company founded in 2016 water drop has one of its production sites in Neu-UlmMore precisely, in the Starkfeld industrial park. Waterdrop aims to create a healthy and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional soft drinks. They use neither sugar nor plastic bottles. Instead, Waterdrop relies on small, sugar-free beverage cubes, so-called "microdrinks," which dissolve in water. With their natural extracts, the cubes give the water a fruity and refreshing taste and also contain vitamins, electrolytes, and even natural caffeine. Waterdrop offers a wide selection of beverage cubes in various flavors.
A major advantage of compressed microdrinks is that they require very little packaging. Their lightweight and space-saving transport allows the company to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
Waterdrop's goal is to continuously improve its products and processes in order to further reduce its environmental footprint. The company is also committed to various environmental projects such as reforestation initiatives and water projects.
Waterdrop initially launched in the Austrian market and soon expanded to other countries. Thanks to clever marketing and a focus on sustainable and healthy nutrition, the company grew rapidly. Today, Waterdrop is successful not only in Europe but also internationally and continues to expand steadily.
