KYIV. Sept 28 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The self-rescuers plant of DEZEGA opened in Izmir (Turkey) last week seeks to reach the projected annual capacity of 120,000 self-rescuers in 2018.
The company’s press service told Interfax-Ukraine that the new plant is to supply the products to the markets where earlier Donetsk rescue equipment plant located on the uncontrolled territory of Donetsk region supplied its equipment. Deliveries from the Donetsk plant were stopped early March over the blockage of the area.
“The new plant is to supply products all over the world. Turkey was selected including thanks to convenient logistics to African, Asian countries and Australia. Of course, the Turkish market is attractive for us. The company pays much attention to increasing safety standards,” the press service said.
The company did not specify investment in the new plant, adding that these were own funds of DEZEGA and Turkish capital. No money was borrowed.
Commenting on competition on the markets, the company said that there are few specific local rivals. DEZEGA competes with the same European and U.S. producers on most of the markets. Recently Chinese producers were attacking the markets.
The company also has a production site in Russia – YuZSO LLC.
“The enterprise is operating. It focuses on the Customs Union markets – Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the CIS states,” the press service said.
