History of Ice Mountain
Ice Mountain is a brand of bottled water owned by BlueTriton Brands, formerly Nestlé Waters North America. The brand was introduced in the Midwest region of the United States and sources its water primarily from natural springs in Michigan. Since its launch, Ice Mountain has positioned itself as a high-quality spring water brand, emphasizing purity and sustainability in its sourcing and bottling processes.
Over the years, Ice Mountain has faced both praise and controversy. While many consumers appreciate its clean taste and accessibility, environmental groups and local communities have raised concerns about the company's water extraction practices, particularly in Michigan. Legal battles and protests have highlighted the debate over groundwater rights and corporate responsibility. Despite these challenges, Ice Mountain remains a popular bottled water brand, with a strong presence in Midwestern grocery stores and vending machines.
