Canada’s leading bottled water producer, known for brands like Pure Life and Montclair, has announced the closing of its Ontario operations by 2025, describing the move as a “difficult decision.”

BlueTriton Brands Inc., formerly Nestlé Waters, didn’t explain why it is shutting down its Puslinch, Ont., facility–near Guelph–which has been in operation for over 20 years. The company said it will continue operations in Canada from its bottling plant in Hope, B.C.
