provided by Recep Altepe,
the mayor of Bursa, the factory is of
19 thousand sqm and equipped with
machinery imported from abroad.
The facility is regarded as another
contribution of the municipality to historical,
cultural and natural resources
of Bursa to the economic value of the
province. Recently, mayor Altepe and
BUSKI general manager Ismail Hakkı

site.
Funded by resources of the municipal
budget, the facility will be a tool for
expansion of financial resources of
the municipality. Mayor Altepe said,
“We keep growing. We go beyond
our targets in every investment. Fountains
in Uludag are our major values
that await to be commercialized. We
deliver natural values of Bursa to the
benefit of people both in Bursa and in
other cities, where many consumers
demand us for better mountain water.
Water that will be bottled here will
also be exported to contribute to the
national economy.”
60 liters of water will be processed in
seconds and 40 TIR full of water will
be shipped at each shift, meaning 120
TIR per day.
