In a move that will quadruple business output from two of Britain’s leading spring water brands, the family-owned company is set to invest £6m in a new state-of-the-art bottling line at its site in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Work has already begun on the 23,000 sq ft extension to the existing building, more than doubling the current facility. The new Krones showpiece bottling system is the first of its type to the UK.
The build is due for completion in February 2014, with operations expected to be fully up and running in April.
Consistently outperforming market growth in the bottled water category, Water Brands grew by 16% in the last financial year to over £8m, against a UK market increase of 3.3%.
