About Radnor

Radnor Hills is an award-winning leading soft drinks producer based in beautiful countryside at Heartsease in Knighton, Powys.

Established in 1990 by founder William Watkins, independent and family-owned, Radnor Hills produces over 400 million still, sparkling and flavoured water drinks every year.

Our brands include a full range of Radnor Hills spring water, Heartsease Farm, Radnor Splash, and our market-leading range of school-approved children's drinks, Radnor Fizz.

Radnor's diverse drinks portfolio is all made using exceptionally pure Welsh spring water sourced from our family farm's land, just minutes from the production line for maximum freshness.

Environmental sustainability is a bedrock of our company. We have been a zero-to-landfill site since 2018 and have an on-site state-of-the-art recycling facility and an expert in-house team to facilitate this. Our environmental management system and site have been certified to ISO 14001 standards.

All of Radnor's products are fully recyclable - our plastic bottles and shrink wraps are 100% recyclable and are also made up of 30% recycled material, our cartons are straw free, and our aluminium cans are infinitely recyclable and sourced only 65 miles from our farm in the heart of the Welsh countryside.

In 2023, we opened new expanded production facilities, a quality assurance laboratory and a state-of-the-art office complex and invested 1.8 million in a new solar farm to help power our operations, which now delivers 25% of our electricity.

Radnor is a multi-format facility manufacturing glass, PET, cans and Tetra Pak all from one site. Our customers include all the major multiples as well as schools and independent retailers.
