Edena Boissons

What Edena Boissons does

Edena Boissons (legally Société Edena) is a La Réunion-headquartered beverage producer founded in 1972, operating an integrated single-site manufacturing and bottling facility in La Possession that produces approximately 48 million liters of water annually. The company sources natural spring water from the protected Cirque de Mafate catchment and runs in-house PET stretch blow molding to produce bottles in formats from 33cl to 5 liters, with continuous microbiological, physico-chemical, and organoleptic quality testing in its internal laboratory. Its portfolio spans still and sparkling spring water under the Edena, Bagatelle, and Volcanik brands, and carbonated soft drinks under the Sega, Big Cola, and Citro! brands, making it a multi-category local CPG operator rather than a single-product water company.

The business generates revenue through three streams: branded bottled beverage wholesale to retail and supermarket channels across La Réunion, a B2B managed-service called Espace Edena launched in 2001 that supplies and delivers water fountains to professional and household customers on a rental-and-delivery basis, and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel for personalized bottle orders with a minimum 8-bottle threshold. Edena holds dual ISO 9001 (2000) and ISO 14001 (2002) certifications, was the first company in La Réunion to receive the Prix Qualité from DRIRE (1999) and the national French Enterprise & Environment Award (2003), and operates active flagship sports and health-cause sponsorships (Grand Raid since 1995, Run Odysséa since 2008).

The company is privately held as a Société Anonyme with €3,443,338 in registered share capital and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mauritius-based diversified beverage group Groupe Phoenix Beverages since April 2016. Following the change in ownership, Edena rebranded to the EDENA BOISSONS enterprise identity in October 2018. Edena employs 101-250 people and operates exclusively on La Réunion island, with no international export footprint disclosed.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Société des Eaux d'Evian: Premium global bottled water brand owned by Danone, sourced from the French Alps. Comparable as a natural spring water incumbent that benchmarks Edena's premium natural-source positioning and competes at the higher price tier across French and overseas-territory retail.
• Cristaline: Leading French bottled water brand owned by Sources Alma and distributed nationally through major retailers (Auchan, Carrefour, Leclerc) at value price points. Competes with Edena on price-tier positioning in mainstream retail channels and is widely available in Réunion supermarkets.
• Nestlé Waters France: Subsidiary of Nestlé producing major bottled water brands (Perrier, S.Pellegrino, Contrex, Hépar, Vittel) sold across France including La Réunion. Represents the global bottled water incumbent against which Edena's premium local positioning must defend share.
• Danone Eaux France: French arm of Danone's water division producing Evian, Volvic, Badoit, and Salvetat distributed throughout France and its overseas territories. Direct competitor in the still and sparkling water categories in which Edena competes.

Regional players

• Sources Alma (Maroc): Leading Moroccan bottled water brand (Sidi Ali, Sidi Harazem) operating in a similar North/West African and Mediterranean basin context. Comparable as a regional natural-spring water producer with protected catchment sources and integrated bottling competing against multinational brands in its home market.
• Sodifram / Sodirex Distribution Group: La Réunion-based distribution and wholesale group supplying retail and HORECA across the island. Comparable as a peer operating in the same local distribution ecosystem, sharing retail relationships with Edena, and shaping how beverages reach Réunion consumers.
• Compagnie Laitière des Mascareignes (CILAM): Major La Réunion-based food and beverage group producing dairy, juice, and bottled beverages for the local market. Comparable as a diversified local FMCG operator of similar scale targeting the same Réunion consumer base through the same retail channels.

Direct peers

• Groupe Phoenix Beverages: Parent company of Edena and the largest beverage conglomerate in the Indian Ocean, headquartered in Mauritius with multi-category beverage operations (soft drinks, water, beer). Phoenix Beverages is the most directly comparable peer given its regional Indian Ocean footprint, diversified beverage portfolio, and similar mid-market scale.
• Brasseries de Bourbon: Leading beverage producer based in La Réunion, primarily known for beer (Bourbon, Mutzig, Phoenix Beer locally) and soft drinks. Operates in the same single-island market, shares the same retail and HORECA distribution channels, and competes directly with Edena on shelf space and HORECA accounts.

Emerging players

• Culligan France: Provider of bottled water coolers, point-of-use filtration, and office water services across France and overseas territories. Comparable specifically to Edena's Espace Edena B2B water fountain business as a competitor in the recurring managed water-delivery service category.
