UK soft drinks manufacturer Radnor Hills has unveiled a new carbonated beverage line, Radnor Spring, as it continues to expand its portfolio of low-calorie, functional drinks.

The new Radnor Spring range features sparkling water with B vitamins in four fruity flavours – Black Cherry & Blackcurrant, Mango & Passionfruit, Pineapple & Grapefruit and Strawberry & Raspberry.

Each 500ml bottle is 100% recyclable and made with 30% recycled plastic, with a recommended retail price of £1 for price-marked packs.

Chris Sanders, sales and marketing director at Radnor Hills, said: “ We have carried out extensive consumer research among 3000 18-35 year olds who grew up with our brands and are now looking for exciting options. Radnor Spring is the perfect next step – a juicy, carbonated soft drink bottled at our zero-to-landfill site in Wales.”

Now in its 35th year, Radnor Hills produces more than 400 million units from its Knighton, Powys site, and reported £55.3 million in revenue for the year to May 2024, up to 15% year on year.

Designed for leisure, retail, vending, grab-and-go and convenience channels, Radnor Spring will roll out nationally from January 2026.
