The sale of bottled water has skyrocketed throughout Uganda in the last years

High Climbers: Rwenzori Bottling Company invests in new PET line from KHS


With the help of high-quality, efficient KHS technology the sales of packaged water in Uganda are climbing to ever new heights. Awareness of the responsible use of resources is growing – an example that could set a precedent.

At 5,109 meters above sea level Margherita Peak in the Rwenzori Mountains in northwestern Uganda is Africa’s third-highest mountain. For many mountaineers the massif is considered the more attractive alternative to the relatively overcrowded Kilimanjaro. Despite its location right on the equator the surrounding peaks are glaciated – still. The region, a particularly lush and species-rich habitat for African flora and fauna, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 for its ecological significance. The misty rain forests with their protruding, sometimes bizarre crags create a mystical aura. The up to 3,000 millimeters of rain per square meter that fall here every year form many rivers, some of which are tributaries of the White Nile.
