POWYS drinks manufacturer Radnor Hills is rolling out more products from one of its most successful brands across stores in Wales this week.
Radnor Splash, the UK’s fastest-growing flavoured water, is available in strawberry and lemon & lime in a 1.5 litre format in stores this week.
The brand’s apple & raspberry and orange & passion fruit flavours are already stocked as 3x250ml Tetra Paks in Tesco stores nationally.
Radnor Splash is a blend of Radnor spring water and fruit flavours. Sugar free, it is made from spring water sourced metres from the production line, on the Watkins family farm just outside Knighton.
Chris Sanders, Radnor Hills sales director, said: “We’re delighted that Tesco is stocking two of our best-selling flavours of Radnor Splash in a bigger 1.5 litre bottle across the majority of their large stores in Wales.
“This is an exciting time for the brand which has been loved by UK households for over 20 years and sells at the rate of two units every second. We’re proud to be helping to keep the nation refreshed.”
Tesco Wales buyer Nathan Edwards said: “We’re always looking for exceptional products made by Welsh suppliers and are really pleased to be offering our customers, who are increasingly looking to buy local products, a new larger size of Radnor Splash.”
Radnor Hills is a family business which produces and packages all its drinks on its farm in the rolling green hills of Radnorshire.

The company is committed to environmental sustainability, has sent zero to landfill since 2018 and has invested in a new solar farm to provide 21 per cent of its energy requirement.
All of its plastic bottles are 100 per cent recyclable and are also made up of 30 per cent recycled material.
In 1990, William Watkins, the son of a fifth generation farmer, decided to diversify from farming into soft drinks after discovering a pure spring water source running below the farm.
From then onwards his passion has been to craft the best tasting soft drinks Wales has to offer. Independent and family owned, the Radnor Hill and Radnor brand is now one of the UK’s leading soft drinks manufacturers, selling over 400 million drinks a year.
The company is the only drinks manufacturer in the UK to produce drinks on site in all four packaging formats – glass, can, PET plastic and Tetra Pak.
