Blue Triton closing Aberfoyle water bottling plant [Video]

A company that bottles ground water just south of Guelph has announced plans to close up their Aberfoyle facility and put the building up for sale.

In a statement to CTV News, the company said, “We have initiated a public sale process for our Guelph facility and will wind down our operations in Ontario by the end of January.”

The news of the facility’s sale comes after Blue Triton announced a merger with Primo Water.

Both companies are based in the U.S.

Blue Triton says, “This was a difficult decision, unrelated to our merger with Primo. We will continue to serve our customers through this transition period and will continue to have operations in Canada in our Hope [British Columbia] facility, which will serve our business in the Western provinces as well as some of our U.S. Pacific Northwest business.”
