Home to our carbonated and diluted soft drinks production

In Bradford our 400+ strong team make soft drinks that can be found in every home in the UK.

Our site is a leading producer of carbonated, dilute to taste and ready to drink soft drinks, offering a large variety of flavours and pack formats in PET bottles. Most of the drinks we produce are for customer own label.

This is our centre of excellence for fruit squash and carbonates and where we manufacture products for our Jucee and Swizzels brands. We also produce a wide range of customer own brand squash products including cordials, premium high juice, fruit & barley squash and standard squash. We’re a trusted supplier in the industry and supply almost every retailer with at least one of our products.

The Bradford site is highly automated, flexible and technologically advanced. Since 2009, we have invested over £90m in a range of significant initiatives, including new employee welfare facilities, a new state of the art 400,000 square foot automated warehouse and an Ingredients Processing Centre (IPC).

In 2019, we invested in a lightweight squash bottling line which allows us to further reduce the weight of our bottles, removing approximately 300 tonnes of plastic from our supply chain every year.

The new line delivers increased production, state-of-the-art equipment and better energy efficiency at the site and is a major part of our commitment to UK manufacturing and providing long-term, high-quality employment opportunities in the area.

Princes is committed to developing talent for its future and we invest over 4,000 hours every year in colleague training and development, with a focus on our Leadership and Operational Excellence programs. We also invest in ongoing learning with apprenticeship qualified courses for our Engineers and Operators alike.

Our IPC is one of the most technologically advanced syrup producing facilities in Europe and can generate over 1 million litres of syrup every day. The technology used in this facility has allowed us to be pioneers in the dilute drinks sector – it’s here that both the double and quadruple strength dilute forms were invented.

Since October 2024, we have been producing the Capri Sun brand for the UK and ROI in all pouch formats and dilute to drink formats. We expect to make 243 million pouches per year in our newly created facility, along with 60 new jobs.

Our site also has the capability to produce almost 500+ million litres of product annually.
