about glacéau

it all started when one thirsty man named darius wanted better water, butcouldn’t find any worth drinking, so he decided to make his own. along camea guy from queens named mike (he’s like darius’ robin…but don’t tell him that) and because mike has a gift for the gab, it’s no wonder word got around, thus emerged glacéau, a fresh new approach to bottled water. Today glacéau, the leader of the enhanced water category, is the maker of vitaminwater®, fruitwater®, smartwater® and vitaminenergy(tm). now with 750+ full and part-time employees, (that’s a big holiday party) glacéau is all about helping thirsty people like you hydrate responsibly with something truly good for your body. for more information visit www.glaceau.com.
