Muslims can now have access to locally-produced non-carbonated drinks for their Hari Raya or Ramadhan needs.

Thanks to a local company Ori Enterprise, Bruneians are now able to get another variety of locally-canned drinks called ORIS to add to the variety of soft-drinks available in the market.

The addition of locally produced drinks in the market will also be a new source of employment for job seekers.

Apart from Malaysian experts, the company also employ locals to operate the machines including packing of products.

At present, Ori Enterprise which operates at Unit 3 and 4, Ground Floor, Simpang 646, Bangunan Abdul Ghafur Km 8 Jalan Tutong produces 4 types of non-carbonated drinks - Lemon Tea, Guava Tea, Mix Fruit Tea and Apple Tea.

The technology of processing the non-carbonated drinks are acquired through a renowned Food Technology Consultant from Malaysia, said the director of Ori Enterprise Mohd Hamrie Hj Abdul Hamid.

He said his company is still in its infancy stage with fully automated machinery.

"The company has applied for international recognition in food and drink preparations such as HACCP and GMP for quality assurance and safety," he said. "We are confident that the local population will support Brunei-made products such as our drinks especially during Hari Raya when sales of canned and bottles drinks are at the highest."
