| | | | | | Type | Water Source/Bottler |
| | | | Extra info | In 1904, the Sulzer springs were bought by the Viennese mineral water merchant Samuel Unger, after having changed their owners several times.The source is named Vitaquelle. In the mid-1950s, Montana AG acquired the entire plant for mining, industry and trade under Güssinger-Vitaquellen-Mineralwasser AG and was able to significantly increase the sale of mineral water. At the beginning of the 1970s the company was taken over by the brewery Schwechat , which in 1975 also took over the bottling of the Severin source.
In the year 2000 the output decreased dramatically, so that Güssinger Mineralwasser GesmbH got into economic difficulties and in 2002 was sold by Brau AG to Aquamontage Getränkeimport GmbH , a German-Italian mineral water sales company. However, the operating result could not be improved by the new owner, which meant that bankruptcy had to be declared at the beginning of 2004.
In November 2004, Abdel Hadi Abdullah Al-Qahtani & Sons Co. , a Saudi Arabian conglomerate, which employs 4,000 people in various industries worldwide, was the new owner. The Sulzer company has been trading under Güssinger Beverages & Mineralwater GmbH since then.
Since 2012, the company has belonged to E & A Beteiligungs GmbH, headquartered in Vienna, which means that Güssinger is once again 100% Austrian. |
