Established in 1998, with a current workforce of over 60 employees spread across its two production facilities in Bagolino (province of Brescia) and Chiusi della Verna (inland of Arezzo), Maniva Spa stands as a robust and rapidly growing company in the crowded and competitive landscape of the mineral water sector in Italy.
Despite the turbulent months of the pandemic crisis, the company has managed to maintain steady growth, even achieving double-digit percentage increases in its 2023 results. Its brands, primarily distributed in Northern and Central Italy, have gained their own strength and recognition among consumers over time, with its Ph8 mineral water being appreciated for its alkalinity, becoming synonymous with quality.
Maniva has recently chosen to strengthen its glass production in harmony with its longstanding sustainability initiatives, being among the first in the industry to adopt energy sourced entirely from renewable sources.
In Italy, Maniva Spa markets its well-known and highly appreciated glass-bottled products, including the Tuscan Classic mineral water, characterized by its minimal yet impactful packaging, Maniva Chef in 75 cl, the pure and crystalline mineral water originating from the heart of Mount Maniva, and the two iconic 75 cl products, Alpine Mineral Water AQ Balda and AQ Verna, sourced respectively from the forests of Casentino.
Among the products particularly aimed at the HoReCa segment, Maniva has developed Mineral Seltz Maniva and Smile-Box Maniva.
The former is dedicated to the mixing segment and is a seltzer water contained in recovered and reused 20-liter steel drums, known for maintaining the carbonation of the water until the last drop.
On the other hand, Smile-Box Maniva is an attractive and versatile product, highly sought after in bar, vending, hospitality, and on-the-go segments, increasingly gaining significant traction in the Organized Retail market.
The Smile-Box is the new sustainable and multi-layered packaging introduced in 2022, designed to safeguard, preserve, and maintain the organoleptic characteristics and alkaline benefits of Maniva mineral water, extensively tested to identify the most effective container inspired by the principles of total recycling and recovery.
