The quality of water packaging and vending in Calabar has been taken several notches up with the arrival of AquaPrime Water in the Cross River state market, www.calitown.com can reveal. Produced from a recently opened state of the art factory at Plot 3, Block 2, Clement Ebri Drive in the high brow State Housing Estate, Calabar, it does appear that things are not likely to be the same again for those in the business accustomed to serving half measures.
At the factory, a reverse osmosis machine, believed to be the first in Calabar has been installed and is being put to use ensuring that water, packaged and bottled there, goes through this somewhat complex but straight forward water filtration process that finally ensures the water is desalinated and made pure for drinking.
A facility tour by www.calitown.com also revealed the presence of a Pet Blowing Machine which uses prefonds to blow to specification the bottle sizes , pick the bottles blown, rinse and cap them before sending same, through a conveyor for packaging. While the company has for now, 23 people in direct employment and several others who enjoy ancillary benefits, it plans to employ more in the days ahead as a way of helping government tackle crippling unemployment in the CRS economy.
To demonstrate the genuineness and suitability of the packaged and bottled water on offer, the National Food and Drugs Administration Control agency, NAFDAC, has certified the product via NAFDAC numbers C1-2439L and C1-3275, while also ensuring that quality standards are maintained and sustained.
Egg heads behind the establishment of the factory, John Agba and Zack Agba, while giving separate assurances to www.calitown.com, insist that AquaPrime Water meets not just the highest standards in water collection, treatment and marketing, but also that great care has been taken to ensure that only the best water is delivered to the state and beyond. They further assured that technical and scientific hands have been carefully selected to deliver a top draw product.
