Our History

David Van Andel began his career in the water business as an employee for another major water supplier in Burnaby back in 1993.

In 1998, he left the company to start his own distributorship on Vancouver Island, distributing water for the same company he formally worked, basing his operations in Nanaimo. At that time, he serviced the entire island, from Victoria to Campbell River.

In 2001 however, his supplier sold their brand, and customer base, leaving him without a product - or customers. This is when David decided never again to allow the success of his business be dependant on the supply, and ownership of the customer base to a third party company. He needed control of the supply, and customer base.

David returned to Vancouver, and opened Premium Springs Water Company. This was the original van Dave used to start his business.

At the time, Dave had water co packed for him. This means that he had another water company bottle the product under his own brand name for him.

Most of his first customers he acquired in the first year of business are still customers today!

By 2008, Premium Springs was at a size where it justified building his own plant. A building was acquired, and equipment was purchased and installed, and production began.

Today, Dave now employs many people, and is in complete control over the product from the production water in his new plant, to customer service and distribution.

Yeah.
