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.

We make the whole bottle.
Fewer suppliers and hand-offs create tighter control, simpler accountability and end-to-end traceability.

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