Armenian ANITEX LLC invests AMD 2.8 billion in production expansion

ArmInfo. Armenian ANITEX LLC invests 2.8 billion drams in production expansion.

At a meeting on January 9, the Armenian government approved a draft  decision, according to which the company will receive tax benefits in  the form of exemption from customs duties for imported equipment and  raw materials.

As Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia Tigran Khachatryan  noted in his speech, in July last year, the company, which is engaged  in the production of textiles in the Ararat region of the republic,  has already been granted tax benefits. The total investment in the  development of production will be 11.5 billion drams, which will  allow adding an additional 200 new jobs in the current 44 jobs with  an average salary of 190 thousand drams. In 2019, the company paid  690 million drams to the state budget of the country.

To recall, in April last year, ANITEX LLC  was also granted a 3-year  deferral of payment of VAT on imported goods. As part of the  investment program, the company plans to start manufacturing textiles  in the city of Artashat. The company will direct about 8.6 billion  drams to purchase raw materials. As a result of the implementation of  the program, 200 jobs will be created with an average monthly salary  of 189 thousand drams.
