In a significant move for the British bottled water industry, Ty Nant has announced its acquisition of Strathmore Water from AG Barr plc. The acquisition solidifies the commitment of Ty Nant, a fast-growing premium bottled water company, to celebrate regional heritage, quality, and long-term investment in British manufacturing.
Strathmore Water, with its rich Scottish heritage and decades of brand equity, has become a trusted name in the UK hospitality, foodservice, sports, and leisure industries. This acquisition ensures that Strathmore will continue to be bottled at its source in Forfar, Scotland, and that all jobs at the site will be safeguarded as part of the transaction.
Chairman and Director of Ty Nant, Raminder Sidhu, expressed the company’s excitement about this new venture, stating, “This is a brand with a deep legacy and a loyal following, and we are honored to be entrusted with its next chapter.” Sidhu also praised the professionalism, passion, and care of the team in Forfar, emphasizing their contribution to the success of the brand and business. Ty Nant is committed to investing in the future of Strathmore and welcomes them into the Ty Nant family.
Ty Nant also extends their gratitude to AG Barr for their excellent stewardship of Strathmore over the past two decades. Sidhu praised AG Barr for being “exemplary custodians of the brand and the Forfar operation” and expressed gratitude for their partnership and support during this transition.
The acquisition of Strathmore is a significant milestone for Ty Nant, which has experienced exceptional growth in the past 24 months and now supplies some of the world’s leading hotels, retailers, and cultural institutions. With the addition of Strathmore, Ty Nant expands its operational scale and geographic reach while maintaining the individual identities of both brands.
Ty Nant remains committed to operating Strathmore as a proudly Scottish brand, investing in sustainability, customer partnerships, and the Forfar site as a long-term strategic asset.
