About DANA
DANA is the bottled water Mezzan produces and distributes across Qatar, where the group runs a separate company for purified water and consumer goods trading. It is the Qatari counterpart to Aqua Gulf in Kuwait, and the pair show how Mezzan builds its own brands market by market rather than exporting one name across the six countries it operates in.

About the owner: Mezzan Holding
Mezzan Holding is a publicly listed company headquartered in Ardiya, Kuwait, founded in 1999. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control, and it is listed as Boursa Kuwait: MEZZAN.
Mezzan Holding is a Kuwaiti food, healthcare and consumer products group whose own reports trace its origins to the 1940s, when Jassim Mohammad Ali Al Wazzan opened a retail store in Kuwait's Altararih Souk selling rice, sugar and other staples. The present holding company was incorporated on 3 August 1999 and listed on Boursa Kuwait on 11 June 2015. It manufactures and distributes more than 34,000 stock keeping units through 34 subsidiaries and around 6,700 employees in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Iraq. Most of the names it carries belong to other companies: its brand list is dominated by products it distributes for their owners rather than makes.
