“Georgia has managed to transform itself from an importing country into an exporting country in only three months, when the whole world was experiencing a shortage of facemasks,” – Natia Turnava, the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, said during a visit to Medifari enterprise.

The company has recently started operating and today produces about 100 000 high quality facemasks a day, and 3 000 000 high quality, first-class medical facemasks per month, which it plans to export in the nearest future.

“On the whole, according to the roughest calculations, in terms of the production of garbage, today the country’s enterprise capacity exceeds 10 million high-quality facemasks per month. The success of this program, of course, was preconditioned by the Social Facemask Program launched by us, which was implemented by the state from the very first day of the epidemic and involved dozens of different garment factories, which currently employ hundreds of people,” – Natia Turnava highlighted.

The company Medifari has invested over 2 million GEL in the enterprise.

The products by Medifari are already actively sold throughout Georgia, but the company plans to launch export promptly. 

The company is currently in active negotiations on the export issues with such countries as Israel, Russia, Belgium, Austria, Italy and the United States.

The company currently employs more than 30 people.
