History of Tipperary Water
How Tipperary Water Started
The Tipperary Natural Mineral Water Company was created in 1986. It was founded by two people, Nicholas and Patrick Cooney. The water is pumped up from deep underground, about 100 metres below the surface.
Important Milestones
In 1987, Tipperary Natural Mineral Water made history. It was the first bottled water from Ireland to be officially recognized by the European Union. This recognition meant it met the high standards for "Natural Mineral Water" status.
In 2012, the C&C Group bought another company called Gleeson Group. This purchase cost about €12.4 million. A few years later, in 2016, C&C Group decided to change how they produced the water. They moved the water-bottling plant from Borrisoleigh to Clonmel, County Tipperary.
New Owners for the Old Plant
In 2019, the old water-bottling plant in Borrisoleigh was sold. A company called Oscar Wilde Water bought it. This company is owned by a businessman named John Hegarty.
