Barrs Irn-Bru Factory - Fully Booked

Barr Soft Drinks has been making, moving, marketing and selling some of the UK’s best-loved soft drinks brands for over 140 years.

The first Barr family soft drinks business was established in Falkirk in 1875 and was soon followed by a second family business in Glasgow in 1887.

In 1901 both Barr soft drinks businesses, Robert Barr Falkirk and A.G. Barr and Co. Glasgow, jointly launched their original recipe IRON BREW.

The phonetic spelling IRN-BRU was introduced in 1947 following concern over proposed changes to food labelling regulations and IRN-BRU has since gone on to become the much loved and popular brand that it is today. Still made to its original secret recipe, IRN-BRU sits alongside our wide range of popular soft drinks brands, including Tizer, Barr’s Originals, Strathmore spring water and Rubicon. With over £50m invested across the site over the last 10 years, our Cumbernauld facility incorporates our head office, a state of the art manufacturing facility as well as a modern automated high-bay warehouse and logistics operation.
