Lagidze Water

The Tikhvin Lemonade Factory “Lagidze Waters” was founded to revive the century old brand with a wonderful history, which started in 1887, when student of the Kutaisi pharmacist, Mitrofan Lagidze began the first experiments on the creation of natural syrups made from fruits. In 1890 Lazidze opened in Kutaisi a small factory for the production of syrups from natural fruits and herbs. Little time has passed, and a small handicraft factory turned into a well-equipped factory. In 1913, the products received the first world recognition - at the international exhibition in Vienna, a silver medal was awarded, and in 1914 at an international exhibition in St. Petersburg a gold medal was awarded. 

Throughout the XX century, the production and geography of supplies were constantly expanding. The products were widely sold in Russia and the Soviet Union, supplied to the United States of America, Europe. In the collection of recipes for soft drinks, published by the Ministry of Food and Nutrition of the USSR, 90% of recipes belong to Mitrofan Lagidze. Lemonades and syrups “Lagidze” were supplied to the Imperial Court and the Kremlin, but most importantly they were accessible to all people and gave them pleasure with their multifaceted shades of flavors.

Today in Russia, the natural Lagidze syrups and water created on their basis are born again due to the irreproachable ecological purity and complete absence of chemical impurities in combination with the natural vitamin complex of natural fruits and are confidently included in the category of elite soft drinks. The investments in the Tikhvin Lemonade Factory “Lagidze Waters” amounted to more than 50 million euros: all of the machinery was built at German factories as per a separate order, to fit the Russian manufacturing needs. Today you can confidently call Tikhvin Lemonade Factory “Lagidze Waters” to be one of the most modern and technically advanced factories.  The combination of high-end technologies with adherence to tradition of quality and unique recipes of Mitrofan Lagidze enable the factory to completely refuse to use preservatives and chemical additives in the manufacturing of drinks and syrups.

Currently the factory produces 20 types of lemonade in bottles of 0.5 and 0.33 litres and 20 types of syrups. The launching of the new production line in 2013 further enhanced the capacity of “Tikhvin Lemonade Factory “Lagidze Waters”: now we are capable of producing 3.5 million bottles of lemonade and 1.5 million bottles of syrup monthly.
