Armenian economy minister Tigran Davtian praised today Newplast metal
and plastic pipes manufacturing plant saying its output meets the
highest international standards.
"The quality of products and the business culture of this company are
fully consistent with the best international standards. The company
has gained a rightful place in the domestic market," the minister
told reporters after visiting the plant.
The minister said also this company's operation is a good example of
how imported products are being replaced by locally made. Then he
also highlighted that the company has its own laboratory, equipped
according to modern standards, where the expertise of both its own
and imported products is made.
"These companies, which could be described as average, should be in
the focus of our attention because they have a great potential for
development. The government can offer assistance to our medium-sized
enterprises,' "he added.
In turn, Hovhannes Azarian, the director of "West Plast Group",
the sales representative of Newplast, asked the government to help
advertise the plant's goods outside Armenia.
"About 20% of the company's products are exported to Russia and
Georgia, where Turkish companies are effectively advertising their
produces, as Armenian companies are deprived of these opportunities,"
he added.
As of June 1, 2011 Newplast produced some 169.1 million drams worth
output, exporting also 37.8 million drams worth goods. The company
employs about 50 employees, the average monthly salary is 100 thousand
drams.($ 1 - 375.09 AMD).
