Mattoni is a Czech brand of mineral water, owned by the company Mattoni 1873 and based in Karlovy Vary. It is the largest producer of mineral water in Central Europe.[1]
History
In 1867, Heinrich Mattoni (1830–1910), an Italian-Czech native of Karlovy Vary, began bottling mineral water abundant to the region and selling it.[2] In 1873, he took over mineral water production at the small spa town of Kyselka, in the Karlovy Vary Region of Bohemia.[3][4] Mattoni expanded the operation by building a modern bottling plant and establishing distribution infrastructure to supply his product to spa guests in Kyselka and throughout the region.[2] In the 1880s, the Mattoni brand ranked among the best known in Europe. In 1910, they exported ten million bottles to other countries.[2] As of 2024, the brand is owned by Mattoni 1873, a company run by the Italian Pasquale family.[5]
