YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, ARMENPRESS. "Megerian Carpets" company has
almost a century old history in the sphere of artisan carpets
production, notwithstanding the production launched in Armenia only in
2000s. The Marketing Manager of the company Hayk Ayvazyan stated: "The
first factory was opened in New York in 1917. Afterwards new factories
were opened in Pakistan, Egypt, China, Romania, Afghanistan, and
India." A factory belonging to "Armenian Carpet" company is being
equipped in Armenia due to the efforts of the Megerians. Presently the
factory is engaged in production and selling of the antique and
artisan carpets.
The secret of success of the company is in diligence and unique production.
In Hayk Ayvazyan's opinion the secret of success of the company is in
the dedication of the workers and administration. Among other things
Hayk Ayvazyan noted: "We have been working over the development of the
present technologies for about five years. No manufacturer shares his
secrets with others. The development of your own technologies is a
difficult procedure, which takes a lot of time. It takes thirty days
from a person to make a carpet of 1 square metres. Although the
procedure does not end here."
The local raw materials are used to make the carpets, but the market
reaches Vatican.
Local raw materials are used in the production of "Megerian Carpets".
In his speech Hayk Ayvazyan laid a heavy emphasis on the fact that
there are almost no troubles regarding acquiring raw materials. The
main problems refer to the consumption. Notwithstanding Hayk Ayvazyan
was proud to announce that Norman Rockefeller, Billy Johns, Cardinals
from Vatican and many other distinguished persons bought Armenian
artisan carpets.
