VODAVODA expands its reach to China
A contract for the import of naturally sourced artesian mineral water from Serbia was officially signed in Beijing between the Serbian company VODAVODA and the Chinese company Balkan (Hainan) International Trade. VODAVODA has entered into an export and distribution agreement for its naturally sourced artesian mineral water in the People’s Republic of China, currently the fastest-growing consumer market in the world. This demanding and highly regulated market has recognized the quality and potential of VODAVODA, positioning the brand alongside global premium water leaders such as Fiji, Evian, and Vittel. In addition to its entry into the world’s second-largest consumer market, VODAVODA is now present in 17 other high-standard international markets. “I believe that VODAVODA will serve as yet another bridge between the peoples and nations of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Serbia, both committed to progress, justice, truth, and the highest human values. We look forward to a successful collaboration in China and are confident that VODAVODA will achieve great success in the years ahead. While water quality and packaging are crucial, accessing a market as significant as China’s required a reliable and dedicated partner. I express my sincere gratitude and satisfaction at the beginning of a partnership that represents a major step toward our shared success and lasting friendship,” said Vojin Đorđević, creator and founder of the VODAVODA brand. “We are truly excited to introduce VODAVODA to the Chinese market. We look forward to beginning our partnership, as VODAVODA has demonstrated great professionalism and enthusiasm in developing a premium-quality brand—an essential factor for our market. We believe our cooperation will be fruitful,” added Shandan Ren, representative of Balkan (Hainan) International Trade. A prerequisite for this partnership was VODAVODA’s exceptional quality and refined design features that distinguish it globally. Few foreign producers have been granted permission to import natural mineral water into the People’s Republic of China. The signing ceremony was attended by a Chinese delegation composed of business representatives and government officials, as well as representatives from the Serbian Embassy in Beijing. The brand’s expansion into new markets is the result of years of strategic efforts aimed at opening doors for Serbian artesian mineral water on the international stage, while continuing to grow existing global markets.

How We Came to the Heart of the Family
Since childhood, fairy tales have taught us that the greatest treasure is often hidden deep - somewhere at the bottom of the sea, in the mountains, or beneath the earth. There, it is protected, untouched, waiting for heroes with pure hearts to find it. Just like in the fairy tales, VODAVODA is nature’s treasure, hidden 605 meters below the surface, in its most pristine form. From the moment it rises to the surface, VODAVODA retains all that nature has gifted it - purity, balance, and strength. We carefully preserve its artesian qualities to protect your loved ones. To provide strength to those who always find time for shared moments. To remind us of the importance of those who care for everyone every day. To nurture the rhythm of every family’s heart. This very idea was the heart of our campaign. With every treasure, we must handle it with care. That’s why VODAVODA remains untouched - just as nature created it. Sincere in its simplicity and strong in its purity, it belongs exactly where it is most loved and most protected - IN THE HEART OF THE FAMILY.

When Help Becomes Strength: VODAVODA Partner of the Series "Radna Akcija sa Tamarom"
Sometimes in life, there are moments when help is not just welcome, but essential. That’s why, once again this year, we are joining the series “Radna Akcija sa Tamarom” as a partner and support with all our hearts. For every family whose home is being renovated on the show, VODAVODA is donating a greenhouse – a small gesture that we believe can bring about a big change. As part of a network of responsible companies that help families across Serbia strengthen their foundations and bravely step into a new beginning, we believe that steps are safer, and foundations stronger, when goodwill is united. For us, greenhouses are not just spaces for growing food; they are symbols of hope. They remind us that, just like plants, help grows when nurtured. And that water doesn’t just give life to plants, but to people, every day. The food from these greenhouses will go straight from the garden to family tables, fresh, full of flavor and nutritional value. Just like VODAVODA, which comes directly from the artesian depths, untouched, pure, and natural. With this gesture, we want to further strengthen the values we uphold because we believe that every drop counts when it comes from the heart. That’s why we proudly say: VODAVODA – in the heart of the family. May each greenhouse become a small source of new strength. A place where hope grows, and life blooms again – with care, love, and a drop of water.

The power of domestic brands conquering the world
Another dynamic year is behind us - one filled with challenges, but also remarkable achievements. VODAVODA marked two decades of existence, expanding into new international markets, while Gorki List solidified its leadership position with impressive growth. Meanwhile, VODAVODA Vodica maintained its status as an undisputed leader in its category, beloved by children and parents alike. We spoke with Vojin Đorđević, the creator and founder of the VODAVODA and Gorki List brands, about recent accomplishments, strategic plans, and the vision driving his success. 1. The past year brought many challenges. What would you highlight as the greatest success? This has been an incredibly dynamic and successful year for our brands, especially for VODAVODA, as we celebrated its 20th anniversary. During this key milestone, we secured our presence in Switzerland, Australia, and Austria, bringing our footprint to 23 international markets. Entering new markets also called for increased capacity—so we proudly launched a state-of-the-art production line that ensures the quality of our water remains unchanged, just as it is at a depth of 605 meters. Thanks to this, VODAVODA continues to see impressive growth, while VODAVODA Vodica has remained the top choice among children and parents and is the best-selling children’s water since its launch. Gorki List, thanks to its exceptional quality, achieved a remarkable 20% growth in both domestic and international markets. We also introduced a refreshed visual identity and updated brand communication. 2. VODAVODA is a natural artesian mineral water, praised for having the same quality in the bottle as at its source. How do you ensure that consistency, and how is that perceived globally? Without comparing VODAVODA to other bottled waters, it’s important to clarify that many consumers believe all bottled waters—table, spring, or mineral—retain the same composition as at their source. However, due to various factors, most waters go through filtration and treatment processes to achieve the desired taste and quality. In contrast, VODAVODA is bottled directly from a 605-meter-deep artesian well without any processing or treatment. Its composition is exactly the same in the bottle as it is at that depth. When you open a bottle of VODAVODA, you’re experiencing water that has waited thousands of years to be tasted. That’s why we don’t call our facility a factory - we call it the Home of Water. This authenticity and consistency have been recognized both locally and internationally, with a 30% increase in sales. I’m confident that more people will continue to appreciate its natural purity and high quality. 3. Gorki List is synonymous with authentic bitters and a rich tradition. What’s next for the brand globally? Gorki List is a brand with a strong personality and a proud legacy. Authenticity and natural ingredients are increasingly valued around the world, which gives us a strategic advantage for continued growth. We have ambitious plans to enter new markets, enhance our branding, and introduce innovations that will reinforce Gorki List’s position among the world’s top bitters. To meet rising demand, we’ve expanded production capacity and introduced new production lines. With proven quality, tradition, and loyal consumers, we continue to communicate the unique formula of Gorki List and its 27 medicinal herbs in a transparent way, even in a world where most keep such secrets. Herbs like wormwood, thyme, yarrow, lemon balm, juniper, savory, gentian, chamomile, fennel, mint, and others are central to our recipe. This transparency deepens the bond between the brand and consumers, who not only appreciate the rich flavor but also its health benefits, for themselves and for society. 4. What are your strategic goals for 2025? What will be the key areas of focus for brand growth and expansion? Our main objective this year is to continue expanding internationally while making strategic investments in innovation and sustainable growth at home. We want consumers to enjoy premium products like VODAVODA, VODAVODA Vodica, and Gorki List. This year, we’ll be presenting our products at the world’s largest trade event in Japan. Given VODAVODA’s growing popularity in luxury hotels and establishments worldwide, especially in Gulf countries like Qatar and Kuwait - we’re launching a sparkling version in glass bottles exclusively for international markets. We’re also strengthening our distribution in Asia and the U.S., while continuing to support sports and promote healthy lifestyles. For Gorki List, the focus is on strengthening our presence in the premium segment with innovative consumption concepts. In collaboration with top bartenders, we’re redefining how the brand is experienced—merging tradition, sophistication, and modern hedonism. 5. What inspires and motivates you personally in business? What advice would you give to young entrepreneurs starting their journey? Throughout my career, I’ve faced many challenges—including some of the toughest ones—but I’ve never wanted to give up on the vision or sell the brands. What still drives me is the belief that VODAVODA deserves global recognition. I want people in Serbia to feel proud of VODAVODA and Gorki List—not only as products representing our team’s work worldwide, but also as symbols of our country. Every achievement motivates and inspires us. These brands were created for the local market, but we always believed in their global potential. And the story is far from over—thanks to a team of hardworking, creative, and extraordinary individuals. Younger generations may see the world differently, so it’s hard to give a single piece of advice. I learn a lot from young people. But if I had to say one thing, it would be this: believe in your ideas. And even more importantly, to be prepared for perseverance and long-term commitment. Success doesn’t come overnight. It takes patience, effort, and constant improvement. Every challenge is a chance to grow. Every step forward is proof you’re on the right path. And above all - never compromise on quality. In the end, true value and genuine quality always find their way to those who recognize and appreciate them. VODAVODA, VODAVODA Vodica, and Gorki List are the proof.
