"Plant "Lastochka" meaning "Swallow" is a well-known mineral water producer in the Russian Far East. The water has been popular among people of Eastern Russia since the end of the 19th century.

The 'Lastochka' mineral water source is located in Pozharsky district of Primorye. The sanitarily protected source covers an area of 480 hectare, which guarantees the water's clearness and environmental safety. The natural protection measures taken in the region maintain the natural cleanliness of the national park where the water source is located untouched.


For production the plant uses a special water pipe that is 2,600 meter long to deliver the water form the source to the bottling plant so all measures are taken to avoid the tiniest possibility of ecological pollution connected with the production.

According to the archives, the water was delivered both to the domestic market and Japan and China until 1917. At the moment the distribution area includes the whole RFE including Khabarovsk, Magadan, Sakhalin, Kamchatka & Yakutia The company's turnover increased 5 times in 1999-2002.
