World’s highest water

Three hours from Tibet’s capital Lhasa, at the edge of a national park, my hosts last week took me to the Tibet 5100 plant, where the natural mineral water flows directly from its source at 5,100 metres.

Here was a company that is already winning sales nationally in China and could soon make its way onto international markets.

It uses the best European equipment for 3 PET lines and 1 glass line. It has adopted full HACCP and ISO disciplines. It is the area’s largest employer with over 180 staff.

It may be remote, but it may not remain unknown.
