Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva attended inauguration of “Istisu” mineral water plant in Kalbajar
02 September 2024, 13:15On September 2, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva attended the opening of the “Istisu” mineral water plant in the Kalbajar district.
Ramin Guluzade, Head of the President's Administrative Services Department, briefed the head of state and the First Lady on the facility.
The “Istisu” plant marks the return of the eponymous mineral water from the renowned thermal spring, known for its exceptional quality and health benefits, to consumers after a 30-year hiatus.
Production of “Istisu” mineral water in the Kalbajar district began in 1976 but was halted due to the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia.
President Ilham Aliyev officially launched the plant.
Situated at an altitude of over 1,600 meters above sea level, the thermal springs provide mineral-rich water with a natural temperature exceeding 60°C.
The "Istisu” mineral water plant, whose foundation was laid by President Ilham Aliyev on June 26, 2022, was completed in 2024.
The head of state and the First Lady observed the production process at the plant.
Equipped with modern automated bottling lines and robotic warehouse management systems supplied and installed by the German company "Krones," the plant has an annual production capacity exceeding 100 million glass bottles.
Operating in a two-shift mode, the plant will employ approximately 100 people, predominantly from the Kalbajar and Lachin districts.
