Early in 1995 following the initiative of the founder Mr. Merched Baaklini, a man with long-term vision, Rim Company For Natural Mineral Water S.A.L., began creating a model of a safe environment at the Ain As-Sayfiyeh spring and its surroundings. The company took every possible precaution by possessing a wide area of mountains in order to protect the water of Rim, using the most advanced methods in preserving the uniqueness of the geological nature, the safety of its soil, water, and snow, from any possible pollution in the future. The purity of the mineral water and its ideal composition, are ensured by the fact that the natural environment remains untouched. The property surrounding the Rim bottling plant and spring have been extensively planted with Lebanese cedars, in cooperation with both the Lebanese and German ministries of agriculture, and is now known to be “ The Lebanese - German Friendship Cedar Forest”, which will someday grow to compete with world-known authentic cedar forests.
