Canada’s Sparkling Spring Water Holdings (SSW) said today that it has closed on the sale of all of its outstanding stock to Groupe Danone, the largest home and office bottled-water company in the world.

The deal is a further move for Danone into the home and office water delivery market, where it is already the world’s number one operator. Although it is a market without the high profile brands of the bottled water segment it is a fast-growing business nonetheless.
Terms of the acquisition weren’t disclosed. However, The Wall Street Journal reported that when the agreement was announced in November, Sparkling Spring was likely to fetch $300 million to $400 million, based on deals for similar companies.
SSW is a leading producer and distributor of bottled water to the home and office segment and serves approximately 270,000 customer locations.
The company has business as in the UK, the Netherlands, The US and Canada.
