The private enterprise ‘Görkana ak ýol’, a member of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan (UIET), has begun production of school furniture — desks, chairs and tables — under the ‘Görkana’ trademark, using local raw materials. This was reported by the online publication ‘Business Turkmenistan’.

Production is located in the industrial zone of the Ak Bugday district of the Ahal velayat. The company employs young specialists, and the equipment was supplied from Turkey and Germany.

The plant has the capacity to produce up to 20,000 chairs and 10,000 desks per month. Raw materials are supplied under contracts with the Turkmenbashi Complex of Oil Refineries.

The products are intended for the domestic market, but there are plans to export them to neighbouring countries in the future.
