We have always worked with the determination to pioneer innovations, reduce import dependency, and supply the market with locally produced goods. The radiator plant — the first of its kind successfully established in our country — is a clear example of this commitment. Through the production of high-quality products, this facility has also earned the trust of our partners and customers.
Cahan Tobacco International (CTI) is a company under the Cahan Holding group, engaged in the production and distribution of local tobacco and cigarette products. The company's product portfolio includes 4 brand families and 13 cigarette varieties. Cahan Tobacco International is the only company in Azerbaijan — and one of the few globally — where 35–40%, and in some cases up to 60%, of the tobacco used in its cigarette production is grown in-house.
The facility, which was planned to launch in 2022, will have an annual production capacity of 200 million aluminum cans, operating in a three-shift system. It is equipped with modern machinery imported from Turkey, Germany, and other European countries. The energy drinks produced will be sold across the Autonomous Republic, with 60–70% distributed to other regions of Azerbaijan, and a portion will also be exported internationally. The company’s flagship brand is the “POWER Plus” energy drink.
In addition to bringing world-renowned brands such as Ahmad, Alokozay, and Akbar to the local market, we also produce our own tea brands, including Tudor, Əlincə, Araz, Sterling, and Elegant. Today, our factory has the capacity not only to meet domestic demand, but also to supply international markets.
