A New Plant – 135 Years of History!

IDS Borjomi Georgia, the industry leader and innovator company, inaugurates a new modern, high-technology plant on the 135th anniversary of the first Georgian mineral water, Borjomi. The total investment in the project amounts to $120 million.

The new facility has been constructed in Kvibisi, on the site of the former Plant No. 2, and covers a total area of 48,000 m². In terms of scale and production capabilities, it is the largest enterprise in this sector in Georgia. At the initial stage, the plant’s annual capacity will reach 750 million bottles, with production expected to increase to 1 billion bottles by 2030.

The plant is equipped with 4 new, ultra-modern, high-tech production lines and advanced bottling infrastructure. The company’s product portfolio has also expanded with the addition of innovative beverages, including Limonati By Borjomi, Bakuriani – water with taste, and Likani Flavored.

Afnan Ahsan, Group Chief Executive Officer of IDS Borjomi International:

“The new plant represents a significant milestone in strengthening Borjomi’s position across international markets. It enables us to further strengthen our presence in Georgia and home markets in Eastern Europe while also confidently expanding operations in strategic markets such as the United States, China and the Middle East. Our global mission is to continue the growth, development, and expansion of our business, establishing IDS Borjomi as a leading, successful international beverage company and elevating Borjomi’s status as a globally recognized brand.”

Ivane Matchavariani, Chief Executive Officer of IDS Borjomi Georgia:

“This unprecedented high-tech enterprise is a project of historic significance, taking the company to a new stage. It represents the largest investment ever made in this sector in the history of independent Georgia and is vital for both the region and the country’s economy. Our mission was twofold: to honorably continue Borjomi’s 135-year history while also creating space for future-oriented projects. From now on, in this new, consolidated, technologically advanced facility, we will produce not only our mineral waters but also a range of innovative products. This plant will serve as a bridge between Borjomi’s heritage and its future.“

Construction of the plant began in 2022 and was carried out in phases. The new, consolidated facility employs 600 local residents. The production process fully complies with national legislation and meets both European and International standards. The plant has been built using energy-efficient materials and equipment, and every stage of production is organized to minimize environmental impact.
