§  The Rim bottling plant is situated on the eastern side of Mount Sannine at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level.

§  It has been recently fitted with advanced and modern equipment.

§  The plant receives natural spring mineral water by gravity from an altitude of 1450 meters above sea level.

§  Water first reaches the plant via a Stainless Steel (316) piping network. This water is subject to continuous laboratory control under the supervision of in-house specialists on an ongoing basis.

§  Rim Natural Mineral Water S.A.L. is currently operating a highly sophisticated, tailor-made bottling line supplied by Krones in Germany, with a bottling capacity of 35,000 bottles / hour for all available sizes.

§  After their final sealing and labeling, the bottles are packed in one of two different ways: They are either plastic wrapped, and then transferred to a machine called the “Handle applicate” which affixes a handle for easy carrying by the consumer, or packed in trademark cardboard boxes. Thereafter, the packs are placed on pallets and are transported to warehouses, where they are to be distributed in local and export markets.

Early in 1995 after the initiative of the founder Mr. Merched Baaklini, Rim Company for Natural Mineral Water S.A.L., started making a model of a safe environment at the Ain As-Sayfiyeh spring and its surroundings. 

The corporation took protections by owning a wide area of mountains in order to guard the water of Rim, using advanced methods in preserving the geological nature, the safety of its soil, water, and snow, from any possible pollution in the future.

The cleanliness of the mineral water and its composition are guaranteed by the fact that the natural environment remains untouched.

The property around the Rim bottling plant and spring is planted with Lebanese cedars.

Rim Spring History - Origin & Location

Mount Sannine taken from a 10^th floor balcony in  Dhour El Shweir

Mount Sannine is a chain of Mountains that makes one of the serial mounts overseeing the wide Bekaa valley.

Mount Sannine is at 2628 meters above sea level.

Mount Sannine was labeled as the "Palace of Water" covered with eternal snow. 

Pure, crystal sweet liquid bursts from a one hundred million years old spring known as Ain-As-Saifiyeh emerging at an altitude of 1450 meters.

Its pearly drops have dripped through the traces of the ageless rocks in the depths of the Sannine mountains.
