UPLIFTING PEOPLE
In 1998, aQuellé was born from a discovery of a
pure, natural water source, a gift from God. The
refreshing taste and purity was too good to keep
to themselves, so they bottled it and named it
aQuelle, blending the Latin word for water “aqua”
with the German word for spring “Quelle”.
For over 25 years, aQuellé has delighted South
Africans, delivering refreshing joy in every bottle
of natural spring water and flavoured drinks.
History
aQuellé is based on KwaSizabantu Mission which
was established in 1970. The founder of the
mission, Reverend Erlo Stegen, dedicated his life
to preaching the gospel, helping and uplifting
people and bringing them hope. aQuellé is
one of the projects he started to support the
missionary work and be able to make a difference
in people’s lives. He initiated the bottling of water
at a time where the idea seemed farfetched and
nigh impossible for the South African market.
