From humble beginnings to five subsidiariesToday, the Spritzer brand is bottled at a vast site of nearly 300 acres with plentiful resources of natural mineral water. From its humble beginning in a small set-up in Taiping, Perak, in the late 1980’s, the Spritzer Group now comprises five subsidiaries which are involved in the manufacturing and distribution of natural mineral water, sparkling natural mineral water, distilled drinking water, carbonated fruit flavoured drink, non-carbonated fruit flavoured drink, functional drink, toothbrushes, preforms and packaging bottles.

Taiping has an average rainfall of 4,000 mm and provides natural water that contain various kinds of different minerals. One of which, a very important trace mineral, bioactive silicon, also known as orthosilicic acid (OSA), has been acknowledged by two universities in the UK to be present in unusually high amounts.

Expertly managed by Spritzer's microbiologists and engineersThe company extracts water from sources 400 ft deep underground. The water is rich in natural minerals from filtering through the different rocks. As a result of the bioactive silicon or OSA it contains, it is said to have therapeutic benefits for connective tissues. The plant itself boasts the latest bottling technologies - its production lines being completely automated to avoid contamination - and is managed by highly qualified professionals, including microbiologists and engineers. To bottle its products in PET, Spritzer collaborated with Sidel, with whom the company had a long-standing relationship.

World-class manufacturing plant with royal seal of approvalHaving worked with Sidel for nearly ten years, Spritzer invested in the PET technology to cater to the growing demand and increase in sales. The company ordered a complete water line with Combi solution. The Sidel line, which runs at a speed of 16,000 bph for the 1.5 litres format, was installed and fully operational only a month later. The PET line includes different equipment such as a preform feeder, Combi machine, pack conveyors, weight checker, labeller and shrink wrapper. The line has a multi-packing (foil) handle applicator and wraparound packer so that a wide range of packs of mineral water can be produced. The world-class manufacturing plant was officially launched by His Royal Highness, the Sultan of Perak who gave it His royal seal of approval. The company is continuing to work with Sidel on new bottle designs and plans for further expansion are being considered.
