Mey Eden

Mey Eden, also written as Mei Eden or Mayanot Eden, is the brand name associated with Eden Springs Ltd., an Israeli company that markets bottled mineral water and related water-service products. The brand originated in 1980 following the development of the Salukia wellspring near Katzrin in the Golan Heights. After further testing of the spring water, the company received authorization to market it in 1983. The brand’s core business is mineral water, sold in consumer containers and through water-service formats. Over time, Mey Eden also expanded beyond packaged water into equipment and accessories used in water delivery, including water coolers and holders for water containers. Its stated product development has included disposable cups made from compostable, plant-based materials, reflecting an effort to address the environmental impact associated with single-use service products. Mey Eden became one of Israel’s leading mineral-water businesses and developed recognition in the local bottled-water market. Its identity is closely linked to the Salukia source and to the broader Eden Springs corporate operation. The company was traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the symbol MEYD at a prior stage of its corporate history. In July 2013, Mey Eden was sold to Rhone Capital, a private-equity investment firm. The available reference material does not establish the precise current ownership structure, listing status, or operational status of the brand, so those details remain unresolved. The brand has also been affected by political controversy connected with the status of the Golan Heights. Organizations that oppose the purchase of products originating in Israeli-occupied territories have periodically called for boycotts of Mey Eden water. These actions relate to the geographic origin of the company’s water source and the political status assigned to the Golan Heights by different governments and international bodies, rather than to a reported product-safety issue. No independently documented product recall, regulatory penalty, or corporate scandal is identified in the supplied reference material.

Mey Eden emerged from the development of the Salukia wellspring near Katzrin in the Golan Heights. The brand and its associated company were established in 1980, creating a commercial operation centered on the bottling and marketing of mineral water from the source. The early development period included additional testing of the spring water, and authorization to market the water was obtained in 1983. The company subsequently became a significant participant in Israel’s mineral-water market. Its activity was not limited to retail bottles: the business also developed water coolers and holders for large water containers, allowing it to serve institutional, workplace, and home-delivery consumption models. It further introduced disposable cups made with compostable materials derived from plant-based sources, extending the brand into related water-service and packaging products. Mey Eden’s commercial identity has remained tied to the Salukia source and to the Eden Springs corporate name. At an earlier point, the company was represented on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker MEYD. The supplied reference does not provide a complete account of the company’s capital structure, management, or later trading history. In July 2013, the business was sold to Rhone Capital. The available material does not specify whether the brand subsequently changed owners, was reorganized, or continued under the same corporate structure. The brand has periodically been the subject of boycott activity by organizations that oppose the purchase of goods originating in Israeli-occupied territories. These campaigns focus on the Golan Heights location associated with the water source and reflect the wider political dispute over the territory. The references do not identify a product-quality scandal, safety recall, or criminal finding involving Mey Eden. Current operational details, including the brand’s present market coverage and ownership, require further verification.
