The head of the company stressed that at present, supplies of machinery and equipment meeting all international standards are being implemented. Only this year about $ 1 million was invested in the creation of the new center. Over the three years of its activity in Armenia, the number of employees of the company reached 150 people. At present, the company needs 20 more specialists. Thanks to the new center, the number of employees will be increased to 250 people. The center, according to Velani, is in the stage of industrial development and can become the driving force of the Armenian economy. However, as the head of the company noted, there are also difficulties that concern high prices for the Internet, unstable power supply and high customs payments.
