Clada Mineral Water Company Limited opened on Friday 13th 1962 at its original premises in Waterlane, Bohermore. Unlucky for some, the Friday 13th opening proved very lucky for brothers Michael, Tom, and Paul Owens from Menlough, Ballinasloe, who established the company. At the time, there were five other bottling companies in Galway city, but today Clada Mineral Water Co. Ltd. is the sole bottling company in the west of Ireland.
A move to the 90,000 sq.ft. production and distribution facility on the Headford Road in the mid 70s, where the company is currently based, also proved lucky. There are four springs naturally occurring on site and given the limestone nature of the locality, all wells sunk produce a spring water with a refreshingly high calcium content.
Clada Mineral Water Company Limited provides contract-bottling services to a variety of domestic brand holders in addition to the manufacture of our own label soft drinks and spring water.
Galway Irish Spring Water is manufactured exclusively at source by Clada Mineral Water Company Limited. Galway Irish Spring Water is supplied to many of the major national multiples including Centra, Dunnes Stores, Londis, Musgraves, SuperValu and Tesco.
