AG Barr

AG Barr is the leading independent soft drinks business in the United Kingdom, producing and selling soft drinks, energy drinks, bottled water and cocktail mixers in the UK and international markets. Founded in 1875 by Robert Barr, the company has been in operation for more than 145 years and remains independent, with a founder-led heritage that predates most of its competitors.

The business employs around 1,000 people across ten UK locations and generates annual revenue exceeding £420 million, serving millions of consumers each year. Its portfolio includes IRN-BRU, the flagship carbonated soft drink made to a secret recipe since 1901, alongside Rubicon, Tizer, Strathmore bottled water, the Barr flavour range and D'n'B. The company also distributes third-party brands, including Rockstar Energy and Snapple, under licensing agreements with their brand owners, and owns Funkin, a cocktail mixers business acquired as Funkin Limited in 2015.

AG Barr operates across several beverage categories - soft drinks, energy drinks, bottled water and cocktail mixers - and is active in both domestic and export markets. The company states a commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible business practices.
