Brita started in 1966 when Heinz Hankammer had the idea of optimizing normal tap water. He named the company after his daughter Brita. Its headquarters are in Taunusstein near Wiesbaden in Germany. In 1988, The Clorox Company, based in Oakland, California, entered in a licensing-and-distribution agreement with the German company for North and South America. In 2000, Clorox acquired the sole rights to the brand in North America and Brita agreed to a noncompete clause until 2005. In 2008, Brita returned to the North American market under the brand Mavea.

Brita states that “social responsibility, particularly social sponsoring, has always been part of our corporate culture.” The company supports many local and international organizations. In 2007, Brita signed an international cooperation agreement to aid a project instigated by the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to provide and/or enhance drinking water in rural Vietnamese villages. With this project, UNICEF aims to provide clean drinking water for at least 60,000 children.

In fall 2010, Brita’s United Kingdom branch collaborated with fashion designer Orla Kiely to support the Breast Cancer Care Charity, which provides professional support and expert information to those affected by breast cancer. The partnership released a limited-edition Hydration Pack containing a water filter jug, three filter cartridges, and a reusable water bottle designed by Kiely and made of 100 percent recycled materials. For every pack sold, Brita donated £1 to the Breast Cancer Care Charity.
