Fonti del Vulture celebrates 130 years of operation in Basilicata

The Fonti del Vulture mineral water plant in Rionero in Vulture is celebrating 130 years of operation. Since 1896, the facility has bottled mineral water, and since 2006, it has operated as part of the Coca-Cola HBC Italia system under the Lilia and Sveva brands.

The plant contributes approximately 5.5 million euros in annual value to the Basilicata region. This includes 3.3 million euros distributed to families, 1.9 million euros to local suppliers, and a portion allocated to the state. The facility directly employs over 60 people and supports approximately 240 jobs in the area.

Between 2015 and 2026, Coca-Cola HBC Italia has committed over 25 million euros to the plant, with 5 million euros invested in the last two years alone. These funds have been directed toward modernizing the facility, developing workforce skills, and enhancing sustainability and production capacity. Environmental efforts include the planting of over 1,200 trees, contributing to more than 42,000 square meters of green space at the site.
