Largest Water Bottling Company in Canada to Cease Operations in Ontario


Canada’s leading bottled water producer, known for brands like Pure Life and Montclair, has announced the closing of its Ontario operations by 2025, describing the move as a “difficult decision.”

BlueTriton Brands Inc., formerly Nestlé Waters, didn’t explain why it is shutting down its Puslinch, Ont., facility–near Guelph–which has been in operation for over 20 years. The company said it will continue operations in Canada from its bottling plant in Hope, B.C.

“We have initiated a public sale process for our Guelph facility and will wind down our operations in Ontario by the end of January,” company spokesperson Carrie Ratner told The Epoch Times in an email. “This was a difficult decision.”

Earlier this month, the company announced it had merged with Florida-based Primo Water Corporation to create Primo Brands, “a leading branded beverage company in North America.” Ratner said the decision to halt operations in Ontario was “unrelated” to the merger with Primo.

BlueTriton Brands is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. As of April, it had nearly 7,000 associates in the U.S. and more than 230 in Canada, sourcing water from 42 active springs in both countries. It also conserves more than 20,000 acres of natural watershed area, according to the company’s website.

Advocacy groups such as the Council of Canadians called the halt to BlueTriton’s operations in Ontario a “victory.”
