Company: Flaska

Location: Slovenia

Based in Slovenia, the Flaska company has a fascinating history behind its founding by Maks Vrecko. After achieving spectacular results with large fields of strawberry crops utilizing “restructured water” (a method intended to bring water stored in pipes and other containers back to its more natural, spring water state), he devised a method to create glass water bottles that contain vibrational frequencies projected to make water that is put into the bottle more like healthy spring water to enhance human and animal health.
