Hartwall is the first mineral water producer in the Nordic countries. In 1836, Victor Hartwall established a production plant in Helsinki to bottle carbonated and therapeutic mineral water.
Bottled water consumption in Finland is about 18 litres annually per capita. One distinctive characteristic of the Finnish water market is that about 40% of it is accounted for by flavoured mineral waters. Finland was among the first European countries for sales of flavoured mineral waters, which are only now seeing worldwide growth. The category was created when the lemon-flavoured Hartwall Novelle Citronelle was launched in 1994.
Hartwall Novelle is fresh, gently effervescent and does not contain salt, sugar or additives. The product family also includes many other mineral waters with natural fruit flavours as well as spring water.
Hartwall Novelle Friss is a new kind of clear beverage made from spring water and sweetened with fructose. Hartwall Novelle Fruity is a fresh blend of juice and mineral water. The new Hartwall Novelle Plus product family includes added minerals and vitamins that are important to your daily wellbeing.
Hartwall Vichy Original is the beverage of choice for those who love traditional Vichy water.
