Ishka, the Limerick-based bottled water company, has signed a three-year supply contract with retail chain Spar that’s valued at €12 million. As part of the deal, Ishka will become the exclusive provider of own-label bottled water to the retailer, which is part of wholesale group BWG Foods and operates approximately 400 stores across the country.
The Limerick drinks company has been supplying own-label bottled water to Spar for a number of years, where retail sales of Ishka branded water have grown to more than €9 million. The company estimates the new supply contract will increase business volumes with Spar by at least 40 per cent.
