About Saint Nicholas
Saint Nicholas is the natural mineral water KEO has bottled since 1995 at a source near the village of Kakopetria, in the heart of the Troodos mountains. Research cited by the company dates the spring to at least 370 years old, and its purity is credited both to the remoteness of the source and to a plant that makes its own PET bottles on site immediately before filling.

About the owner: KEO
KEO is a publicly listed company headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, founded in 1927. Brandtree records 17 brands under its control, and it is listed as CSE: KEO.
KEO is the largest drinks company in Cyprus, formed in 1927 and quoted on the Alternative Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. Its own accounts split its business in two: vinifying grapes, brewing beer, making juice and bottling natural mineral water, which it sells at home and in more than thirty countries; and importing and distributing drinks and canned food belonging to other companies. That second activity is why much of what KEO carries — Jim Beam, Laurent-Perrier, Erdinger, Kopparberg — is on its list but is not its to own.
🇨🇾 Saint Nicholas and other Cypriot brands
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 20 brands that began in Cyprus. 1 of them (5%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country; Saint Nicholas is not one of them.
