REMBAU, Bubbles O2 Sdn Bhd, Malaysia's top producer of naturally oxygenated mineral water, is aiming for RM22 million in sales next year. Managing director Ain Azizah Arifin is optimistic that the target is within reach, with the brand gaining momentum in both domestic and international markets, including Brunei and Dubai. 'We are aiming for a 30 per cent increase each year. Our sales target for this year was RM10 million, but as of June, Alhamdulillah, we have already surpassed that, recording RM15.8 million," she said at the launch of the new Bubbles O2 manufacturing plant today. Ain Azizah attributed the impressive growth to strong word of mouth, customer trust and high demand, which accelerated sales earlier than anticipated. The new plant was officially opened by the Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives, Datuk Ewon Benedick, and attended by Bubbles O2 executive chairman Arifin Marzuki. Since its establishment in 2019, the brand has expanded to 5,000 outlets nationwide, including g as stations, hypermarkets and cooperatives. Bubbles O2 has also sponsored prestigious events like Le Tour de Langkawi. 'Currently, we produce 4,000 cartons or 100,000 bottles of mineral water a day. 'We have five offices in Rantau and Pedas in Negeri Sembilan, Kajang and Bandar Baru Bangi in Selangor, and Kota Bharu, Kelantan, with plans to expand into the northern states soon," Ain Azizah said. She also revealed plans to expand into South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States by the end of this year or early next year, citing the product's strong potential.
