Sunrush Water Announces Expansion in Wellston, Ohio
Posted on March 1, 2025
Your Bottled Water, LLC dba Sunrush Water, in collaboration with JobsOhio, Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE), and Jackson County Economic Development Partnership, today announced an investment of over $100,000 to expand its operations in Jackson County, creating three new jobs.
Sunrush Water bottles water through its own treatment and proprietary processing technique for commercial use. The company also serves water distributors across the Midwest.
“We at Sunrush Water are very excited about the new project,” said Michael Blum, Owner of Sunrush Water. “With the help of the JobsOhio Small Business Grant, we will be able to provide other regional bottling companies and distributors with a broader range of products that they would normally have to source from other parts of the country or even other countries.”
After a previous expansion that doubled revenue, the company continues to create jobs in Wellston. With this investment, the company plans to purchase a blow molding machine and establish a plastic bottle manufacturing line.
“Sunrush Water came to Jackson County in 2020, and has been making a splash ever since,” said Sam Brady, President and CEO of the Jackson County Economic Development Partnership. “With this latest investment, the company will continue its growth trajectory thanks to the financial support of JobsOhio.”
This investment is supported by a $50,000 JobsOhio Small Business Grant. The JobsOhio Small Business Grant provides grants to support the growth of small businesses that face unique challenges because they are either located in a qualifying zip code or are owned by an eligible population, which includes minorities, women, veterans, and people with disabilities. To qualify the company must have an eligible project and meet business size and industry requirements.
“We are thrilled to support Sunrush Water as they invest in Wellston, reinforcing their commitment to innovation and growth in the region,” said Katy Farber, Vice President of OhioSE. “This investment will create new opportunities, strengthen the local economy, and contribute to the long-term success of Sunrush and the community.”
