We built our business on the principle of sustainability, which means leaving a strong positive impact on the society and our clients, and minimal impact on the environment.

Springing to Life
Our businesses Bottling Water is one of our core businesses here at Springco and our portfolio of bottled water brands include Pyramid and Ina natural mineral water. We are also in the business of harvesting and processing rice.
Our Core Business
Our water is as pristine as it gets – sourced from above ground and free from contaminants – it flows from the tropical rain falls, absorbing everything it passes through before it is extracted directly from the peak of the hill to give it that smooth, refreshing taste that glides down your throat.
The secret to our fresh tasting water is keeping it as pure and simple as the earth would, with minimal processing and all-natural qualities.
Pure bottled goodness We believe that water is best savoured in its most natural state. That’s why Ina water comes straight from peaks of nature to our facilities - pure, refreshing and mostly untouched. We don’t create it, we just bottle it with all its goodness.

Finally, our water is sent to a facility where it is bottled and packaged with all-natural minerals and goodness before we send it your way.
Springing to Life
Before Ina water is safe for consumption, it goes through a simple filtration and purification process to remove hard solids and particles it gathers along the way. This process is kept to a minimal to preserve its pure taste.

Bottling
What makes our water so smooth, pristine, and unlike anything you’ve ever tasted is the way we extract it - straight from the peaks and directly to our facilities.
Water as pure as ours doesn’t need much done to it. So, we keep it simple with only suitable filtration, preserving all the natural flavours and nutrients that come with it.
We keep our water bottling facilities under controlled conditions. That means the water you enjoy is produced under the highest standards, and feels as good as it tastes.
Packaging
Labelling
Quality Testing
After one final check, we box everything up and send it out to the stores.
Once we’ve assured that every bottle has met our exacting quality and safety standards, we give it our seal of approval. Labelling lets you tell our fresh, pure water apart from the rest.
Samples of our water travel daily to the DXM lab to ensure it is free from environmental contaminants before it can leave our facilities.

Our Initiatives
The quality and taste of our water is our first priority, that’s why it is tested daily at a state-of-the-art lab to ensure you get nothing but the best.
Putting the planet first
Go for just enough When we extract water, we go by the principle of just enough to keep the ecosystem in a balance.
Made local, loved locally Our water is sourced, bottled and distributed locally, to keep our carbon footprints minimal.
Springing to Life
At Springco, the Earth isn’t just our resource, it is also our home and we do everything we can to protect it. The only impact we want our business to make is a positive one, so here are some ways we are playing our part for the environment:

Other Businesses
We are in the business of processing rice and water products, but a fundamental part of what we do is helping other businesses to grow and scale, to bring the greater good to all.
Beyond the springs At Springco Asia Sdn Bhd, our business extends beyond water to all your basic needs. Aside from being manufacturers of rice - delivering the goodness of grains from our fields, to your homes – we are also curators of fast moving consumer goods.
With our expertise and resources, we have built a distribution network to help smaller businesses take off and bring their goods to the marketplace. Our goal is to become the premier curators of consumer goods in Malaysia. Through our efforts, we’ve given deserving businesses a platform to succeed and the community, the great products they deserve.
Springing to Life
We operate with a belief that great brands are a dime a dozen, and products with potential deserve to be savoured and enjoyed by the masses. That’s why we are always on the lookout for new products to invest in.

Research and Development
Innovation to us goes beyond developing new products to finding new ways to improve on what is already there.
Innovating a difference Food is at the heart of everything we do here at Springco. Food nourishes the body, but it delights and satisfies the soul. They say there are two kinds of people – those who live to eat and those who eat to live, but we believe that eating good means living well. That’s why we consistently strive to innovate new breakthroughs and bring you healthier, tastier products, and at the same time, work to improve our existing range of brands and processes. Because good food is your source of comfort, and our pride and joy.
Water that cares
Water Safety We have built a laboratory focused entirely on water safety, to ensure that every bottle of water that leaves our facilities is safe and compliant with both internal and government health and safety standards.
Bottling To reduce our footprints on the environment, we are researching ways to make our own PET bottles so we can build a full assembly network within a single production site, a move that will effectively cut transportation to a minimal.

Our Origins
From humble beginnings to success Top With its ample rainfall and luscious landscapes, a hillside location in Relau was chosen as the ideal site for our facilities. Construction began in early 1990s, and with our state-of-the-art water plant, our dreams of bringing the finest quality naturally-sourced water to all became a reality.
Our roots date back to the early 1990s, to a secluded location in Relau, Kedah with an abundant supply of pure, pristine water from the tropical rainfalls. Seeing the potential of the land, our founders established Depco Nutri Link Sdn Bhd. Over the next four years, construction on a mineral water plant took place. Depco Nutri Link Sdn Bhd introduced Pyramid natural mineral water to Malaysia, our first fountain beverage product that is still available in the market till this day. For over 20 years, Depco Nutri Link Sdn Bhd has been serving customers and communities with pure, drinkable goodness. In 2017, we rebranded to Springco Asia Sdn Bhd, marking the beginning of a fresh chapter and breathing new life to an age-old brand. Today, we are still operating out of that very same plant, but with a renewed vision to support local enterprises and bring quality goods to all Malaysians.
