ABOUT US

As the regionally leading producer of mineral water and beverages we strive to blend tradition and innovations to be the best at what we do.

About us

Jamnica is the leading producer of natural mineral waters and refreshing beverages with an annual production of approximately 350 million liters.

The tradition of production in Jamnica dates back to the distant year of 1828, making Jamnica one of the longest-standing domestic companies. Even after almost two centuries of existence, Jamnica continues to innovate, explore, develop, and improve. This is not surprising, as the leadership position entails the obligation to build a portfolio for the future based on sustainability, health, and well-being as the main elements of a better future society.

Jamnica operates within the organizational division of the Fortenova Group, which also includes Sarajevski kiseljak d.o.o. in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mg Mivela d.o.o. in Serbia, Jamnica mineralna voda d.o.o. in Slovenia, and Agrolaguna d.d. in Croatia.
