About Us
Celebrating Over 60 Years in Business
Founded in 1963 by Andrew Peykoff Sr., Niagara started as a family business delivering high-quality, affordable water in five-gallon glass bottles to homes and offices across Southern California. We take great pride in being an active and engaged neighbor and employer of our natural resources. Then and now, we are committed to providing safe, affordable beverages while supporting local communities, advancing environmental sustainability, and serving as a trusted partner for generations to come.
"My parents taught me that the keys to a happy life are strong family values, a strong work ethic and saving for your future. Whatever you do, stick to it. Get busy, do it yourself. Don’t wait. Problems are our friends on the road to success."
— Andrew Peykoff Sr., Founder & Chairman

A Legacy of Innovation
Since 1963, innovation has been at the core of Niagara's story. What began as a family business delivering five-gallon bottled water has grown into one of North America's leading beverage manufacturers driven by a relentless commitment to quality, value and customer service.
Founded by Andrew Peykoff Sr., Niagara earned the trust of customers by making high-quality, affordable drinking water more accessible. Built on integrity, hard work and a passion for continuous improvement, those same principles continue to guide our company today.
As consumer needs evolved, so did Niagara. In the early 1990s, we helped transform the private label bottled water industry by bringing together unmatched quality, operational excellence, and value for retailers across North America. Through investments in vertical integration, advanced manufacturing, automation, and packaging innovation, we established a new standard for speed, efficiency, and service.
Under the leadership of President and CEO Andy Peykoff II, Niagara has continued to expand its capabilities, manufacturing network, and beverage portfolio. Today, we partner with many of the world's leading retailers and brands, delivering a broad range of beverage solutions backed by world-class manufacturing, supply chain excellence, and a culture of continuous innovation.
While much has changed over the past six decades, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to doing the right thing, exceeding customer expectations, and making high-quality beverages accessible to more consumers every day. As a family-owned company, we continue to invest in our people, our communities, and the future of beverage manufacturing always looking for better ways to serve our customers and create lasting value.
