About Crystal Water
Crystal Water is the bottled water of Crystal Bottling Company, the Bowen & Bowen subsidiary whose Crystal name goes back to 1944, when the group first sold carbonated flavoured drinks under it. The water is purified through an eleven-step process, has been certified by both the British and American armed forces, and the company calls it the most trusted bottled water in Belize. Production moved into the John Armstrong Memorial Building, a new plant opened in 2016, which also carries the group's Coca-Cola franchise volumes.

About the owner: Bowen & Bowen
Bowen & Bowen is a privately held company headquartered in Belize City, Belize, founded in 1932. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control.
Bowen & Bowen is Belize's largest privately held consumer goods group, founded in Belize City in 1932 by Eric W. M. Bowen and his brother Fredrick as a general trading company. It introduced carbonated flavoured drinks under the Crystal name in 1944, acquired the right to bottle Coca-Cola in Belize in 1961 and built the Ladyville plant in 1965, and established Belize Brewing Company in 1969 in partnership with Cerveceria Hondureña, whose shares Barry Bowen bought out in 1981. The group now spans brewing, soft drinks, imports and distribution, aquaculture, agro-industry, power generation, security, restaurants and retail. Its Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, Schweppes, Powerade, Minute Maid and Fuze volumes are produced under franchise from The Coca-Cola Company, and Guinness Foreign Extra Stout has been brewed under licence since 1989: none of those names belongs to Bowen.
