| PROJECT INFORMATION | The Myanmar Heritage Industries Project is one of the largest private-sector industrial development initiative in Myanmar's modern history. This $400 million, one-year program will establish a vertically integrated manufacturing ecosystem spanning food & beverage production, consumer electronics, and specialty confectionary industries. The project aims to create roughly 25,000 jobs and position Myanmar as a regional hub for authentic Southeast Asian and South Asian consumer goods. TharKa (Pure Essence) Cola Company Located in the Yangon SEZ, the TharKa Cola main factory and main office will be constructed using roughly $35 million. It is estimated to generate 2,500 jobs. It will be equipped with 12 stainless steel mixing tanks (50,000L each); 6 high-speed bottling lines with a capacity of 18,000 bottle/hour each; 4 Sidel SBO machines producing 2,000 glass bottle/hour; 2 Ball Corporation lines with a capacity of 24,000 cans/hour each; 2,500 sq m with 45 quality control stations; 25,000 sq m with automated case packing and palletizing; and a 35,000 sq m temperature-controlled storage. The factory will also have a water treatment system processing 500,000L/hour with UV sterilization; a 99.5% purite CO2 generation and recovery system; a sugar room with a positive pressure and filtered environment; three 10-ton/hour natural gas boilers; oil-free compressors with a 99.99% purite rating; and an automated cleanining-in-place for all process equipment. Connection to a 15 MW grid + 5 MW backup diesel generators; 8 MW rooftop solar array (making up 40% daytime power); a dedicated 2km pipeline to Yangon River + backup wells; a 400,000L/day biological treatment plant; and a effluent standard of BOD <20mg/L, TSS <30mg/L meeting international standards for export. By law, TharKa is permitted only to make bottles of glass and cans of aluminium for their drinks and must use real sugarcane. Throughout the nation, primarily in grocery stores and convenience stores, bottle and can returns will be installed, which will return 10% of the bottle's value. The American Coca-Cola bottle costs roughly 840MMK in the nation and to compete, TharKa Cola will be selling their bottles at a price of 630MMK for core flavours and 735MMK for premium flavours. TharKa will be producing the following core drink flavours:
TharKa will be producing the following premium drink flavours:
The target markets will be 60% domestic Myanmar and 40% for the up-coming Silk Road nations, which includes much of the Asian continent.
