THEN

NOW

UR HERITAGE Established in 1875 as an aerated waters business by the Barr family in Falkirk, Scotland, the company quickly became a successful soft drinks manufacturer providing a wide range of soft drinks to the people of Scotland.

We’re very proud of OUR HISTORY it’s made us who we are today

Our iconic IRN-BRU brand is central to our rich history. Launched in 1901 as IRON BREW, it soon became a national favourite. Its flavour essence is still made today, to the same secret recipe, by members of the Barr family. New food labelling regulations in 1947 stipulated that brand names should be ‘literally true’ and while IRON-BREW did contain iron, it was not brewed. And so IRN-BRU was born and is still going strong today. The business has grown during its 140 years in both size and scale, adding new brands to the portfolio and extending its operational footprint beyond Scotland. What has never changed is our pride in what we do and the importance we place on providing our consumers with great tasting soft drinks that they love. In 1965 the business was floated on the London Stock Exchange and is now a publicly owned FTSE 250 business.
