Aqua Una (Serbia) lead the way with EBWA Training -from H2O Europe - the journal of European Bottled Watercooler Assotiation

New Serbian company Aqua Una of Smederevska Palanka have decided they want to be one of the best cooler operations in Eastern Europe. In consequence they have joined EBWA European Bottled Watercooler Assotiation and carried EBWA Hygiene Training for all their staff and had their production staff trained as EBWA Plant Operators all before a bottle was filled!

General Manager Nikola Knezevic says . 'Our company decided from the start that they wanted to work to the highest standards. We therefore joined EBWA as soon as we formed. We have found the EBWA Technical Manual very useful in helping us set up our business. We are about to commission our new state of the art Quadrant plant from the UK and are using the latest Crystal Mountain Water coolers.
So that we got things right from the start we asked Mike Hurst of Watermark Consultancy to come over to inspect our operation when the plant was ready for commissioning and also to carry out EBWA training for all our staff. We are now confident that we can offer our customers the best water and service in Serbia. We have found EBWA membership to be invaluable in setting up our business.

Mike Hurst an EBWA Consultant said. 'I must admit to being highly impressed at what has already been achieved by Aqua Una , Their plant, production factory and source are all of the highest quality. In addition I found their young staff to be bright and enthusiastic. The exam results speak for themselves-only 2 questions wrong amongst all of 10 them in the hygiene course and three merits and one good pass in the Plant Operator Training. Highly creditable results!!
With the Serbian market undeveloped the prospects for Aqua Una are highly promising. This is a classic example of how EBWA can help companies directly where there is no local association - yet!'
