About The Position
At Vivreau North America, and our sister company Mavea, we have a clear vision and mission to deliver high quality water in a sustainable, environmentally responsible, and health-promoting way. With over 15 years in North America and backed by our parent company Brita SE in Germany, we are poised to expand on our business across the continent. Vivreau embraces this simple idea: local water can be transformed to be even better than the heavily marketed bottled stuff, and at a tiny fraction of the footprint. Vivreau dispensers provide delicious, micro-filtered still, sparkling, and hot water without the need for plastic bottles or cans, making us a key partner to the Fortune 500, premium hospitality providers and healthcare. Vivreau’s Professional Filters are prevalent in coffee shops and cafes North America-wide, ensuring perfectly balanced ingredient water for coffee, espresso, tea, and combi-steam ovens.
