From a natural alkaline mineral water source located 220 meters beneath the ground in Khanh Hoa to bottles that have become part of everyday life, Vikoda continues to affirm the value of a Vietnamese brand through product quality and consumer trust. This journey was vividly brought to life during a visit to Vikoda’s factory as part of the Company Tour program celebrating the 30th anniversary of the High-Quality Vietnamese Goods designation.
Discovering the Journey from a Precious Mineral Water Source to a Vietnamese Brand
Recently, Vikoda welcomed delegates participating in the Company Tour program marking the 30th anniversary of the High-Quality Vietnamese Goods designation at its factory in Dien Tho Commune, Khanh Hoa Province. The visit provided an opportunity for participants to gain first-hand insights into the product’s origins, manufacturing processes, and the values that have built the reputation of Vikoda, a natural alkaline mineral water brand.
More than just a tour of a manufacturing facility, the event offered an authentic perspective on how local natural resources can be transformed into valuable products. From carefully preserving its natural alkaline mineral water source over the years to developing products that meet consumers’ increasingly sophisticated needs, Vikoda demonstrates its strong commitment to quality and sustainable development.

In particular, as part of the 30th-anniversary celebrations of the High-Quality Vietnamese Goods designation, the visit carried added significance by connecting Vikoda’s corporate story with the broader journey of building consumer confidence in Vietnamese products. This also provides a foundation for Vikoda to further strengthen its position as a Vietnamese brand trusted and chosen by consumers.
“A Gem Within the Rock” – Nature’s Distinctive Gift from Khanh Hoa
One of the defining features that sets Vikoda apart is its natural alkaline mineral water, sourced directly from the Dang Thach mineral spring in Khanh Hoa, 220 meters below the ground.
Often described as a “Gem Within the Rock,” this precious mineral water source lies within a 35-hectare protected zone, helping minimize potential impacts from the surrounding environment. Prioritizing the protection of the source area is essential to preserving the water’s quality and inherent natural characteristics.

One of Vikoda mineral water’s most distinctive characteristics is its naturally occurring pH of 9.0, achieved without artificial electrolysis. This natural property differentiates the product in the bottled water market, catering to the growing consumer preference for drinking water with traceable origins and naturally occurring mineral content.
In addition, Vikoda natural alkaline mineral water has a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level ranging from 100–400 mg/L and contains various minerals, including H₂SiO₃, HCO₃⁻, Na⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺. These minerals contribute to daily dietary mineral intake and help maintain electrolyte balance, making the water particularly suitable for people with active lifestyles and those who engage in regular physical activity.
Quality: The Foundation of Consumer Trust
While its natural alkaline mineral water source is a distinctive competitive advantage, Vikoda’s investment in quality is what enables the brand to bring that value closer to consumers.
Behind every product is a development strategy built around the Five “Good” Standards, reflecting the brand’s commitment to preserving its mineral water source, maintaining rigorous extraction and manufacturing processes, and ensuring consistent product quality.
Vikoda’s factory holds stringent certifications, demonstrating its commitment to delivering high-quality products to millions of consumers.
Through the factory tour, Company Tour delegates had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Vikoda’s efforts to connect natural resources with the manufacturing capabilities of a Vietnamese enterprise. Each bottle therefore represents not only the value of a precious natural mineral water source but also the manufacturer’s responsibility for product quality and consumer trust.
Being voted a recipient of the High-Quality Vietnamese Goods designation by consumers represents meaningful recognition of Vikoda’s brand-building journey. It also serves as a motivation for the company to continuously improve and enhance the value of its products.
From Local Natural Resources to a Source of Pride in Vietnamese Products
The journey from a depth of 220 meters to earning the trust of Vietnamese consumers tells the story of how a natural resource can be valued, protected, and sustainably developed to unlock its full potential.

For Vikoda, brand development is measured not only by the products delivered to consumers but also by the trust built through quality and long-term commitments.
The Company Tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of the High-Quality Vietnamese Goods designation was therefore more than an opportunity to discover where the products are made. It also helped share the story of a Vietnamese brand that leverages the strengths of its local natural resources to create distinctive value.
