Charif obtained a license from the Ministries of Public Health and Industry to build and operate the factory. He is now in the process of establishing the company.

Investment in the project is estimated at $7 million, some of which is financed thorugh a bank loan.

The machines for the factory will be imported from Europe.

Production capacity will see the bottling of 56,000 liters of water per day. Bottles will be produced in different sizes including 0.33, 0.5, 1.5, and 5 liters.

The company has not yet chosen a brand name for the water.

“We are relying on the quality of Yammouneh’s water to compete with other water brands in the market,” he said.

Part of the production will be also exported to Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
