MOGILEV, 5 October (BelTA) – The Belarusian textile manufacturer OAO Mogotex has signed a contract to sell $300,000 worth of innovative fabric to law enforcement agencies of Uzbekistan, Mogotex representatives told BelTA.
The relevant agreement was reached during the Made in Belarus expo, which took place in Tashkent in September. Mogotex products were showcased on the collective stand of Belarusian light industry companies. Mogotex put on display innovative fabrics for uniforms and protective clothing as well as home textiles. Strong interest was displayed in a men's costume made of aramid fibers and antistatic threads. The costume does not burn and protects the wearer from electricity.
A meeting with representatives of the Uzbek textile industry companies took place during the expo. About 20 textile industry companies took part in the meeting. All of them, including Mogotex, were interested in mutually beneficial economic cooperation. “We had productive negotiations,” said Mogotex Director General Viktor Matiyevich.
In his words, along with modernizing its manufacturing facilities Mogotex is working hard to diversify target markets and promote its products to non-CIS states. Mogotex products are exported to more than 15 countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Lithuania, and Germany.
Founded in 1973, Mogotex was reincorporated as a public joint-stock company (OAO) in 2000. It is a major manufacturer of textile products in Belarus and the CIS states. The company offers fabrics for special clothing and uniforms, raincoat fabrics along with garment-lining fabrics, ready-made overalls, and home textile products. The company comprises a weaving factory, a finishing factory, a garment factory, and other manufacturing facilities.
