Water Industry: Ozone Overseas, Providing Turnkey Projects for Water Companies in Kenya

Jigna Patel, Director of Ozone Beverages, gives an overview of Ozone Beverages, a water purification company based in Kenya, and Ozone Overseas, a company specialized in providing investors with turnkey projects related to water packaging and machinery.

“We have two major companies, Ozone Beverages and Ozone Overseas. Ozone Beverages Ltd is into the purification of water. We package water and supply it to industries. We sell 20-liter refills for dispensers and we have branded water bottles. They are glass bottles because Kenya has a kind of plastic-free environment. We supply hotels, restaurants and airlines. Our other company, Ozone Overseas Ltd, has machinery related to reverse osmosis, which is water purification. We also have bottling machines. We work with turnkey projects when companies come to us wanting packaged drinking water with their name and label on it. That is one thing we do”, says Jigna Patel.

“Number two is planting machinery. There are many companies that need reverse osmosis machines. Maybe it is a medical company that wants water for use in producing medicine. They have certain parameters for that water, so we set up machines to meet their production requirements. The biggest challenge in Kenya right now is in places like Mombasa, which is on the coast, where the water is so salty it cannot be used in households. The water needs to be processed to reduce the TDS, Total Dissolved Solids, basically salt. We process it in such a way that it can be used for general purposes. It is mainly a challenge for hotels because they are close to the sea. We provide solutions for water quality issues. We give turnkey projects three options. If they have limited investment and want to start with a small-scale project, we give them the option of manual packaging or a semi-automatic packaging machine and the speed is good. If they have a manual packaging setup there are two challenges. One is hygiene and number two is speed. We also have the fully automatic packaging line option, depending on the investment capacity”, she adds.
