    •

    •  
  • The acquisition comes at a time of exceptional growth for Ty Nant.

Ty Nant, the fast-growing premium bottled water company, said it has acquired Strathmore Water from AG Barr.

AG Barr, the company behind popular UK beverage brands like IRN-BRU, has in March announced its decision to discontinue the Strathmore brand.

Wales-based Ty Nant said the deal marks a “significant moment for two of Britain’s most respected water brands,” while reinforcing its commitment to celebrating regional heritage, quality, and long-term investment in British manufacturing.

The acquisition ensures that Strathmore will continue to be bottled at source in Forfar, Scotland, and that every job at the site has been safeguarded as part of the transaction.

“This is a brand with a deep legacy and a loyal following, and we are honoured to be entrusted with its next chapter,” said Raminder Sidhu, chairman and director at Ty Nant.

“At the heart of Strathmore’s success is the incredible team in Forfar. Their professionalism, passion and care are a true testament to the strength of the brand and the business. We’re proud to welcome them into the Ty Nant family and excited to invest further in their future.”

Ty Nant extended its sincere thanks to AG Barr for their “outstanding stewardship” of Strathmore over the past two decades.

“AG Barr have been exemplary custodians of the brand and the Forfar operation,” added Sidhu. “We are grateful for their partnership and support during this transition, and for the strong platform they’ve built — both in market and on the ground.”

The acquisition of Strathmore comes at a pivotal time for Ty Nant, which has seen exceptional growth in the past 24 months and now supplies some of the world’s leading hotels, retailers, and cultural institutions. The addition of Strathmore enhances Ty Nant’s operational scale and geographic reach, while maintaining the distinct identities of both brands.

Ty Nant will continue to operate Strathmore as a proudly Scottish brand, investing in sustainability, customer partnerships, and the Forfar site as a long-term strategic asset.

AG Barr on Tuesday reported a trading update for the first half of the 2025-26 financial year, showing a three per cent increase in revenue.
