The drink is being produced with local ingredients at a factory in Toronto, Canada. Mors made at this plant under the Wonder Berry brand will be sold by the largest retailers in Canada, US, France, Israel and other countries.

The mors drink is made from fresh Canadian forest and orchard berries, such as cranberries, whortleberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries, using unique technology developed by Wimm-Bill-Dann and based on age-old Russian recipes.

“We have observed great interest in our mors outside of Russia,” noted Yevgeny Yaroslavsky, president of the company Wonder Berry and one of the founders of Wimm-Bill-Dann. “I am convinced that Western consumers will enjoy the unforgettable taste of this natural drink, made in Canada from local berries.”

Wimm-Bill-Dann first initiated the idea of producing berry mors and today is one of the largest producers in the world of this original beverage. Exported Wimm-Bill-Dann mors is already popular under the Wonder Berry brand in the countries of Europe, the Americas and Central Asia.

Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods OJSC was founded in 1992 and is the largest manufacturer of dairy products and a leading producer of juices and beverages in Russia and the CIS. The company produces dairy products (main brands include: Domik v Derevne, Neo, 2Bio, 33 Korovy, Chudo and more), juices (J7, Lubimy Sad, 100% Gold), Essentuki mineral water and Agusha baby food. The company has 37 manufacturing facilities in Russia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Georgia with over 19,000 employees. Wimm-Bill-Dann became the first Russian dairy producer to receive approval from the European Commission to export its products into the European Union.

On May 18, 2006, Standard & Poor's Governance Services confirmed WBD's Corporate Governance Score 7+ (7.7 accordingly on the Russian national scale), which makes the Company's score the highest rating in Russia. That result reflects the effective work of the Board of Directors and, in particular, the real influence of independent directors in the decision-making process and the adherence of the controlling shareholders to the highest standards of corporate governance.
