The company owns business premises (factory) laid at an area of 5.000m2 (production, storage and administrative space), within a larger open area of 14.000 m2.

The factory has at its disposal a complete infrastructure (its own transformer station, water system, fenced and protected property, and is located in the city. At present, the entire area of the premises is vacant and ready, with minor repairs, to accept any type of equipment and start production in different spheres, and the management team is intensively working on finding the potential partner for introducing a new production technology.
