The family business has gained a lucrative share of the hotel and restaurant market in Switzerland. Last year, Goba sold 14 million bottles in Switzerland, its only market so far, to earn SFr12m.
“Upmarket restaurants buy our water because of our good image: small, confident and independent,” said Goba CEO, Gabriela Manser.
The flagship brand from Goba is Flauder, an elderflower-flavoured water. The company also produces Himml and Wonder flavoured waters, which are more recent introductions to the market.
The water comes from a natural spring near Säntis in the canton of Appenzell, and is bottled in Gonten.
