Our purpose-built, state of the art, high technology facility located in the village of Ballyneety in County Limerick is one of the most modern facilities in Europe, where product, production and business innovation is constant.
- We regard operational excellence, quality assurance, environmental health and food safety protection as essential requirements of our daily operations.
- We conduct our business in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of our customers, employees and the community in which we operate.

It is down to the dedication and care that our team put into source management, quality control, bottling and marketing our water that ISHKA Irish Spring Water is as successful as it is today. We set the bar high for our entire team, creating a culture that engages everyone.
