Commenting on today’s announcement, Raanan Zilberman, Eden’s CEO who continues to lead the management team of the company, said: “We view the transaction as an opportunity to accelerate the company’s expansion plans. The business strategy, as outlined over the past years, which consists in further developing our full offering of water and coffee products and services, requires investment in marketing, equipment, business development and in acquisition of complementary companies.
