What Niagara Bottling does

Niagara Bottling, LLC is a privately held, family-owned U.S. beverage manufacturer founded in 1963, headquartered in Philadelphia, with a national network of bottling facilities spanning the Midwest, West Coast, Southwest, and East Coast. The company produces purified water, spring water, distilled water, infant water, alkaline water, sparkling water, vitamin-enhanced waters, ready-to-drink teas, and aseptic beverages, applying state-of-the-art purification, filtration, and disinfection technologies and incorporating solar-powered operations across its footprint. In 2025 Niagara acquired rPlanet Earth's recycling facility in Vernon, California and Absopure's retail bottled water business in Plymouth, Michigan, extending its portfolio with the Eco-Pak line of 25%-recycled-plastic bottles and vertically integrating recycled-PET supply.

The company generates revenue through direct sales of its branded bottled water and beverage portfolio to enterprise retail accounts, including major grocery chains, supermarkets, convenience stores, and gas-station retailers nationwide, with supporting distribution via wholesale partners. Marketing channels combine organic social presence, a corporate sustainability program, and sponsorships including Keep America Beautiful and The Recycling Partnership, alongside a Niagara Cares community-outreach initiative that delivered 276,000 gallons of water to over 10,300 families through Feed the Children in 2025. Under President and CEO Andrew Peykoff II (with founder Andrew Peykoff Sr. as chairman), Niagara is currently executing a multi-hundred-million-dollar capital expenditure program, expanding its Lancaster plant, opening a new Enfield warehouse to support its Bloomfield operation, and broadening its Midwest, West Coast, and Southwest manufacturing footprint. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, reflecting the company's position as a private, family-controlled manufacturer selling through standard retail and distribution channels.
