About Cielo
Cielo is AJE's bottled water, which the company describes as the water that accompanies you through each of your daily activities, guiding you towards the lifestyle you want and giving a sense of inner wellbeing. It is also the brand AJE attaches its conservation work to: it calls itself a proud protector of Machu Picchu and of the giant tortoises of the Galápagos. The Cielo Alcalina line reached 100 per cent recycled PET in Peru, and the brand launched further innovations during 2024.

About the owner: AJE
AJE is a privately held company headquartered in Lima, Peru, founded in 1988. Brandtree records 9 brands under its control.
AJE is a Peruvian multinational drinks maker built on the idea it calls democratising consumption: making soft drinks cheap enough for markets the international bottlers had priced out. Its history begins in 1988, when the Añaños Jeri family started producing drinks in Ayacucho, in the Peruvian Andes, giving rise to the Kola Real brand. It is still run by the family, several of whom sit on its board, and it now has commercial operations in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Nigeria, Cameroon, Réunion, Madagascar, Spain, Egypt, India, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. Its portfolio spans more than eight categories — carbonated soft drinks, juices, waters, teas, isotonic and energy drinks — sold through its own plants, distribution centres and a franchise network, and none of it is bottled under licence from another brand owner.
