The company was founded in 1996. Through years of hard work by the company employees, Pleass Global steadily grew its artesian water brands AquaSafe® and VaiWai® expanded activities into food and beverage packaging.
And in 2005 as part of the company’s expansion in the bottled water market, suitable land was sought for the construction of a bottling factory “at source”. In 2008, 420 acres of pristine lowland tropical rainforest was acquired in Namosi, Viti Levu, Fiji.
That land, now known as Kila World, has a 300 acre planned residential subdivision called Kila Estates. The remaining 120 acres is the water catchment and houses the artesian aquifers for the company’s bottled waters. Also on those 120 acres, the company has developed an organic farm and Kila Eco Adventure Park, in order to preserve the organic certified status of the water source land.
Today, Pleass Global is a publicly listed organisation with operations across Fiji and exports into many countries. Pleass has established a state-of-the-art water bottling facility at Namosi at the source and is accredited to the highest standards of quality and compliance. The head office facility at Namosi also houses a modern warehouse, engineering operation, quality laboratory and is constructed in an environmentally sustainable manner to reduce energy demand, providing a cool, well ventilated workspace and housed in pristine tropical rainforest, a truly magnificent workplace.
In 2007 the company expanded water bottling from the existing refillable water cooler bottles into PET small sizes of bottled water. Initially bottling 600ml and 1.5L bottles the range now includes dozens of bottles and package sizes including 250ml, 350ml, 600ml, 1.0L, 1.5L and 3.0L AquaSafe®. 330ml, 500ml 1.0L and 1.5L Vaiwai
