New Zealand artesian water manufacturing

From source to shipment.

Estel Beverages owns its Nelson artesian source and makes every part of the bottle on one site—from PET resin and filling to labelled pallets ready for export.

The source

Water no one else can bottle.

Glacial melt filtered through ignimbrite rock into a sealed aquifer 896 metres beneath the Waimea Plains. We hold the rights and draw naturally alkaline water straight to our filling hall—nothing added and no tanker journey between source and line.

One site, every step

We make the whole bottle.

Fewer suppliers and hand-offs create tighter control, simpler accountability and end-to-end traceability.

  1. 01

    Source

    Water is drawn from our protected artesian aquifer directly to the filling hall.

  2. 02

    Make

    Food-grade resin becomes preforms, then bottles, within the same Nelson facility.

  3. 03

    Fill

    Bottles are filled, capped and labelled in a controlled production environment.

  4. 04

    Release

    Each batch is checked, packed and traceable from resin lot to finished pallet.

  5. 05

    Ship

    Orders are palletised, documented and prepared for domestic or export delivery.
