ISHKA Irish Spring Water

Founded in 1978 by Mr Michael Sutton Snr and managed today by his sons Mike Sutton and Denis Sutton, ISHKA Irish Spring Water is an AA certified spring water company based in Limerick. The company prioritises innovation and staying ahead of the rapidly changing retail and wholesale environments.

They are committed to protecting the environment and make all plastic bottles 100% recyclable, with their EcoBottles made from 100% recycled plastic. The company trialled tamper-proof tethered caps in 2022, making them the first bottled water company in Ireland to implement such a measure, three years ahead of an EU deadline.

ISHKA have great respect for their region and the water it provides. They protect this natural resource so their water can be enjoyed today, tomorrow and always. Every drop of ISHKA Irish Spring Water comes from the undulating and verdant Ballyneety landscape, carefully drawn from protected and certified onsite spring wells – untouched by human hand. ISHKA Spring Water is drawn from naturally renewable protected underground sources, constantly replenished by rainfall. As long as it continues to rain on Ballyneety’s beautiful rural landscape, ISHKA will supply pure, natural bottled spring water to Ireland and beyond.

The water is naturally pure, low in sodium, and has a balanced pH of 7.3, rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium. The natural filtration of the local limestone bedrock gives them spring water of the highest quality and purity with a fresh and rejuvenating taste.

The company preserves its natural quality and taste by simply bottling it and offers various sizes ranging from 250ml to 5L, with flat and sports caps. They also provide a variety of easy-to-store spring water multi-packs, making it convenient for shoppers to stay hydrated throughout the day.

With its success in the retail, wholesale, and vending markets, ISHKA aims to commission a new glass bottle line and move into the foodservice and on-trade market this year. The company also plans to explore introducing flavoured water and a new water energy drink. ISHKA’s dedication to operational excellence, quality assurance, environmental health, and food safety protection are integral to their everyday operations. They use lean manufacturing procedures that focus on continuous development by eliminating waste and adding value. The company’s success is due to their team’s dedication and diligence in managing the water source, quality control, bottling, and marketing. They set high standards for their employees, fostering a culture that engages everyone.
