ARMENIAN CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTION IS QUITE COMPETITIVE IN MARKET
One needs to produce high quality raw materials and goods, to establish long-term business relations to contribute to the development of construction sphere. Gagik Galstian, head of RA Builders’ Union, stated this during "Construction and Renovation Expo 2006" exhibition. The production of the Armenian construction materials include stone and concrete proceeding mainly, while the rest of the materials are imported. According to Galstian the local production is quite competitive in the market. He advices the local companies to purchase high quality equipment to secure production of high quality goods.
The exhibition will last till April 1. Over 60 local and foreign companies participate in the exhibition. Their representatives stated that the exhibition helps get familiarized with the new achievements in the construction industry and to establish business relations.
Arsen Ghazarian, chairman of Producers Union, stated that the growing volume of construction in Armenia during the recent few years contributed to the development of construction technologies. He said that over 10 companies producing construction materials were established during the last few years.
Though the participants of the exhibition were satisfied with the initiative, they expressed discontent with the marketing level in the sphere. Particularly, Yuri Sahakian, head of "Poly Serve" company, stated that the number of the local construction related companies is small and this factor hinders cooperation. He said that unfortunately, his company has to import raw materials from abroad, and as a result, instead of developing the local construction market, they contribute to the development of the relevant markets in Turkey and the Arabian Emirates.
