en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bottled beverage manufacturer Niagara Bottling LLC (headquartered in Diamond Bar, California) has completed the acquisition of Absopure's retail bottled water business. Niagara stated that, building on this acquisition, it will invest hundreds of millions of dollars in manufacturing infrastructure at its production facilities in the Midwest, West Coast, and Southwest to modernize its manufacturing layout and reduce energy consumption, packaging material usage, and freight emissions, while retaining skilled manufacturing jobs in the United States.
In a statement, Niagara noted that as a family-owned company with over 9,000 employees and operations spanning more than 50 plants, this acquisition helps further expand its service network to better serve customers nationwide. The company said Absopure is a deeply rooted family brand recognized and trusted by retailers and households, and the shared focus on quality and service facilitated this partnership. Niagara welcomed Absopure and plans to develop the brand over the coming years.
Headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan, Absopure claims to be one of the first bottled water companies to recycle its own plastic bottles over 35 years ago. The company reuses materials from plastic bottles through its recycling affiliate, Clean Tech, based in Dundee, Michigan, which currently processes over 200 million pounds of plastic annually. For more than a decade, Absopure has used recycled plastic to produce its Eco-Pak water bottles; in 2022, the company announced a technological breakthrough enabling the addition of more recycled content in bottles, with Eco-Pak bottles now containing 25% recycled plastic. Additionally, all Absopure single-serve water bottles, including Eco-Pak bottles, are 100% recyclable.
This acquisition marks Niagara's second transaction in the past two months. In May, the company acquired the closed rPlanet Earth brand and its 305,000-square-foot polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling and packaging facility in Vernon, California, and is advancing measures to vertically integrate its bottling operations and enhance recycling capabilities.
