Accompanied by RA ministers of Economy, Energy and Natural Resources and the Chief of Government Staff, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited Nairit Plant CJSC. The Prime Minister walked round the workshops, got acquainted with the plant’s existing capacity and development opportunities.
Tigran Sargsyan said to be pleased with the fact that Nairit is operational, produces rubber and stressed the need for determining the plant’s actual capacity and the possibilities for increasing output, including the launching of butadiene-based rubber production by this end-of-year. The head of government indicated that Nairit has vast development opportunities as it can produce other products in addition to rubber. Once brought to the projected maximum capacity, the plant can trigger out tens of other factories with thousands of jobs available. As a first priority, the Prime Minister singled out the need for bringing in highly qualified labor.
Nairit is of significant importance to our State as it may add a new relish to Armenia’s economic pattern. Nairit is a source for domestic chemical industry because it may foster research and development. In general, chemical industry is a prospective branch for Armenia’s economics. Breakthrough is impossible in this sector without this plant. This is why the plant is of top relevance to the State,” Tigran Sargsyan has said.
