Chennai, India, April 16, 2026 — Progressive Business Partnership (PBP), through its sustainability-focused brand PBP EcoAqua, has secured a USD 1 million export order from Kenya-based Sarova Hotels, marking a significant step in its international expansion within the hospitality sector.

The agreement involves the supply of advanced in-house glass bottled water systems designed specifically for hotel operations, enabling Sarova Hotels to transition away from single-use plastic bottles while maintaining high standards of water quality and operational efficiency.

USD 1 million export deal strengthens global presence

The order represents a key milestone for PBP EcoAqua as it continues to expand its footprint across international hospitality markets. The Kenya-based Sarova Hotels group, known for its presence across major tourism destinations such as Mombasa and Masai Mara, has selected the Indian manufacturer as a partner for its sustainability-focused operational upgrade.

This export agreement reinforces growing global demand for environmentally responsible solutions within the hotel industry, particularly in reducing reliance on plastic packaging.

Advanced glass bottling systems for hotel operations

Under the agreement, PBP EcoAqua will supply integrated water treatment and automated glass bottling systems tailored for luxury hospitality environments. These systems are designed to support in-house production of safe and reusable glass-packaged drinking water.

The solution combines water purification technology with automated bottling processes, allowing hotels to maintain consistent quality standards while improving operational efficiency. The system also includes components such as glass bottles, closures, consumables, and ongoing operational support.

The initiative is expected to enhance guest experience by offering premium drinking water while aligning with sustainability goals increasingly demanded by international travellers.

Training and implementation process underway

As part of the project execution, a senior delegation from Sarova Hotels visited PBP EcoAqua’s manufacturing facility in Chennai for technical training and operational familiarisation. The structured training programme covered installation procedures, operational workflows, hygiene compliance, and sustainability benchmarks.

This preparatory phase is aimed at ensuring seamless deployment of the systems across Sarova Hotels’ properties, with a focus on maintaining international hospitality standards.

The training also enables on-ground teams to manage the systems effectively, ensuring long-term performance and compliance with operational requirements.

Hospitality sector shifts towards sustainable solutions

The partnership reflects a broader shift within the global hospitality industry towards sustainable operational practices. Hotels are increasingly adopting in-house solutions to reduce environmental impact while maintaining service quality.

By implementing glass bottling systems, Sarova Hotels aims to significantly cut down on plastic consumption, addressing both regulatory pressures and evolving consumer expectations around sustainability.

The move also aligns with global environmental priorities, where reducing single-use plastics has become a central focus across industries, including hospitality.

Expanding footprint across global markets

This export order further strengthens PBP EcoAqua’s presence across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The company has been positioning itself as a provider of end-to-end sustainability solutions for hotels, combining technology with operational support.

With installations across multiple countries and a growing portfolio of hospitality clients, the brand continues to target international markets seeking scalable and efficient alternatives to conventional bottled water systems.

The agreement with Sarova Hotels underscores the increasing role of technology-driven solutions in enabling hotels to achieve sustainability targets without compromising on guest experience or operational performance.
