On 26 March, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attended the opening of a cheese and other dairy products factory that is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and has helped create 120 new jobs. The head of government toured the factory and was introduced to the activities that had been carried out through a $15 mln investment project and the manufacturing process.

The Prime Minister was informed that the production line, which works with technologies imported a year-and-a-half ago, will allow to produce all types of moldy cheese. The factory will produce more than 2,000 tons of Sambiel brand cheese a year and sell it in Armenia, the CIS and the Middle East. It will also produce more than 20 mln liters of quality milk a year, and there is a laboratory for inspecting the quality of milk.

In the second phase, the company plans on building the second factory for the production of semi-dried and dry cheeses, and joint investments will be made with a Dutch investment company. The second factory will produce high-class Dutch and Swiss cheeses.
