YEREVAN, May 7. /ARKA/. South Caucasian Railway (SCR), a Russian-run
company operating Armenia's railroads, said today it remains committed
to its policy of supporting domestic production and expansion of
cooperation with Armenian companies, citing its cooperation with
Mobile Tiwi company as a good example of fruitful collaboration.
Mobile Tiwi is a supplier of rubber superstructure products for the
needs of the railway.
SCR said it has started cooperation with Mobile Tiwi in 2010. During
this period of time it never fell behind deliveries schedule. In 2012
the company received a certificate of Conformity from Federal Agency
for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Russian Federation.
'SCR provides ongoing support for the Armenian economy, which is
expressed primarily in support of domestic producers. In particular,
the railroad gives priority to local companies while purchasing
products, goods and services. Last year the volume of SCR purchases
was over 2 billion drams, and in 2012 this figure will be more than
4 billion drams,' it said in a press release.
With the gradual development of the rail industry, the number of
employees of partner companies of SCR is growing. Thus, over the past
3 years, about two thousand new jobs have been founded.
In addition, SCR holds a policy of supporting small and medium
businesses, facilitating companies of this type to enter international
markets, providing transportation services to sufficiently competitive
rates.
South Caucasus Railways is a 100% subsidiary of state-run Russian
Railways that was awarded a concesional management of SCR. The 30 year
contract was signed in 2008. It can be prolonged for another 10 years.
