Bickford's continues to base its approach to business on using
quality products, a principle that has stood firm for over
a century. All products use the finest ingredients and are
manufactured in a modern facility with uncompromising care
and attention to detail.
Since 1991, the Bickford's range of products has grown significantly,
beginning with an expansion of cordial varieties. This was
followed in 1992 by the carbonated range of Old Style Sodas
and the introduction of pure water products.
In October 1993, Bickford's launched Spritz, a range of clear,
fruit flavoured carbonated drinks. The brand was an instant
success and is now distributed through all Australian supermarkets
and convenience stores, as well as internationally.
In September 1995, a new brand Esprit, with 5% fruit juice
content, was launched, offering a premium adult soft drink
with all natural ingredients. The Esprit range expanded the
Bickford's profile into the beverage category and is the company's
most wide ranging exported product.
Since this time, Bickford's has also introduced the Classic
Juice and Nectar range of juices and drinks, together with
the expansion of the pure water range with AquaPura Fruit Splash.
Today, the product range includes premium adult oriented carbonated
soft drinks, sodas, fruit juices, cordials, essences and pure & flavoured
waters.
These premium products are all packaged in glass apart from
our pure water range, which is packaged in PET.
The company's objective is to develop national and international
brands recognised as quality products targeting the premium
sector of the market.
The head office and manufacturing facilities for Bickford's
Australia are still located in Adelaide, South Australia.
