Just Water International Limited operates in New Zealand and Australia
supplying water-coolers, drinking water and filters for the home and office.
The Company was listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (Alternative Market)
in 2004.
The New Zealand business was started in 1989, and has grown to a base of over
35,000 recurring contracts, the Company deriving a recurring income either
from monthly rental, water sales or maintenance agreements.
The Australian business arose through the acquisition of Clearwater Filter
Systems (Aust) Pty Limited in 2005 to take advantage of the growth of
point-of-use water-coolers in Australia. Clearwater has its Head Office in
Sydney, with branch offices in Brisbane and Melbourne.
