BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 4. The production
of "Istisu" mineral water has resumed after a hiatus of thirty
years in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
This mineral-rich water comes from hot springs in the
picturesque Kalbajar region, more than 1,600 meters above sea level
and spontaneously emerging at temperatures above 60 °C.
To note, the ball started rolling on the production of "Istisu"
in Kalbajar back in 1976, and it quickly made a name for itself
thanks to its remarkable health benefits. But manufacturing came to
a standstill for 30 years because of the Armenian takeover of
Azerbaijani territory.
The factory currently has cutting-edge automated bottling lines
and robotic reservoir management technologies supplied and
installed by the German company Krones. These developments allow
for the manufacture of high-quality mineral water while retaining
its natural qualities. Annual production capacity surpasses 100
million glass bottles.
The water meets both local and international quality standards
and is categorized as thermal mineral water with high bicarbonate
and sodium sulfate content. It contains healthy components such as
calcium, magnesium, and sulfates, which improve health.
"Istisu" mineral water is certified to AZS 216-2006, ISO
9001:2015, and ISO 22000:2018 standards, ensuring strict quality
and safety norms.
About 100 individuals, primarily from the Kalbajar and Lachin
areas, will work the two shifts at the factory. By reducing waste
and making better use of energy resources, it will also help
safeguard the environment. Producing safe, high-quality water while
minimizing environmental impact is the facility's top priority.
