Rim is a natural spring mineral water bottled at source in the Bekaa. The company was founded in 1997 by Merched G. Baaklini, and its water comes from the Ain el Saifieh spring at Kaa el Rim near Zahle, on a protected private property of about 12 million square metres. Rim describes the water as low in sodium, light in minerals and high in magnesium. In 2016 it launched Rim Sparkling Water, presented as the first Lebanese sparkling mineral water. The brand belongs to Bev Holding, and its offices are in Antelias. Rim received the SGS FSMA Quality Importer Certificate, a step linked to its push into the United States, and its sparkling water is already on shelves in Qatar. Formats run from small bottles up to 10 litre containers for the home.
