On July 11, 2023, the opening of the energy and refreshment beverage factory of ENNA, a company within “Cahan Holding”, located in Nakhchivan, took place. The factory, equipped with modern equipment, is the largest energy and refreshment beverage factory in the Caucasus in terms of production capacity. The opening ceremony was attended by Fuad Nagiyev, the Authorized Representative of the President of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Tapdıq Əliyev, the Minister of Economy of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Vüqar Abbasov, the founder of “Cahan Holding” and Chairman of the Nakhchivan Confederation of Entrepreneurs, as well as the management teams of “Cahan Holding” and ENNA.

He stated that the project is significant in terms of replacing imported products with local production, creating new jobs in Nakhchivan, ensuring employment for the local population, and improving the material well-being of the people. “The facility provides us with the opportunity to also sell to foreign countries. I believe that the products from the factory, which ensure customer satisfaction, will be exported to neighboring countries, Central Asia, and Arab countries,” said Vüqar Abbasov.

 

In his speech, Fuad Nagiyev, the Authorized Representative of the President of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, highlighted that within the framework of the implementation of the “State Program for the Socio-Economic Development of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic for 2023-2027,” new enterprises would continue to be established in Nakhchivan. Regarding the issue of human resources for the new enterprises, Nagiyev emphasized the importance of using the potential of higher, secondary, and vocational educational institutions operating in the autonomous republic to train qualified personnel with modern professional skills.

 

Following the speeches, the guests toured the factory grounds and visited the Quality and Process Control Department’s testing laboratory. The production facility was then launched, and the visitors were closely introduced to the production process. During the visit, factory employees answered the guests’ questions about safety and the operational principles of the equipment.

The “ENNA” LLC company was established in 2022 by Cahan Holding with the aim of meeting domestic demand for energy and refreshment beverages in the country. The main goal of the enterprise is to steadily increase production capacity every year, expand beyond the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and sell carbonated drinks to other regions. The factory operates on a three-shift work schedule and has the capacity to produce 230 million cans of soft drinks annually. A total of 300 new employees have been hired for the operation of the facility, with local potential being utilized for this purpose.

Thanks to the application of GMP safety standards and the installation of innovative technologies, the products are manufactured without human touch. The produced goods are tested in a modern laboratory, and only after the quality is confirmed, are they put on sale.
