Vodka “Khaoma” is an environmentally friendly product. The manufacturer of the strong drink is the Kazakhstan plant “Kokshetau Mineral Waters”, which is part of the international company Asia Waters. The company focuses on the production of products based on mineral water, including strong alcohol. The holding includes its own exploration services and research base. This is one of the giants of the food industry in the former CIS.
Historical reference. The Kokshetau Mineral Waters enterprise was opened in 1991. The company was founded by a group of young geologists who were concerned about the cessation of supplies of mineral water from Russia and the lack of research funding. There was an idea to create a national enterprise that would supply the whole of Kazakhstan with healing drinks.
With great difficulty, it was possible to find several sources that would meet the quality requirements. At first, production was carried out almost by hand. Today, the holding owns three large deposits of natural water, and the company employs more than a thousand people. The plant in Kokshetau was tested for product compliance with international environmental standards and received a certificate from the International Academy of Ecology.
The most environmentally friendly in Kazakhstan
Haoma vodka is based on mineral water, which is delivered to the enterprise daily. It immediately passes through ion-exchange filters and enters the tanks already cleaned to 10 microns. In production, alcohol is used from wheat grown in the northern part of the country. A number of varieties use aromatic spirits on flowers and herbs grown in ecologically clean areas.
The finished product passes through filters filled with quartz sand. As a result, vodka becomes crystal clear. Then the drink is infused for several days and bottled. Products are produced on automated lines of German production. The plant underwent a complete modernization in 2016.
Awards
Over the entire history of its existence, Kazakhstani vodka has received more than three dozen awards, the first of which was awarded at the INTERDRINK 99 exhibition held in Moscow. Of the recent merits, it is worth noting the victory at the Prodexpo 2017 competition. The gold medal was awarded to the Haoma Gold brand.
