The minister said the company has already imported the equipment
and plans to launch the furnace in early March. The minister said
also the launch of the new furnace will reduce production costs,
increase the output and sales and create also 10 new jobs.

$4.3 million) investment project that is expected to create a total
of 100 new jobs with an average wage of 200,000 drams. About half of

years, it has seen a major renovation and is equipped with modern
equipment and production lines.

300 million drams worth modern equipment or technology to expand their
output and modernize production facilities. On April 17 the government
lowered the ceiling to 200 million drams. ($1 461.10 drams).--0--
