MOSCOW (MRC) - The company "Geksa - netkanyye materialy" (Moscow region, part of the GEXA Group) intends to use a loan from the Industrial Development Fund (IDF) in the amount of Rb350 m to modernize the production of nonwovens with an increase in capacity at its site in the Tver region by 65% ??- up to 1,700 tonnes per month, the FRP said.
The company plans to increase production of disposable medical products, including surgical kits made from woven fabrics of its own production, as well as a wide range of surgical clothing and underwear for medical institutions, including covering materials for agriculture and construction under-roof single-layer and multi-layer membranes for wind insulation.
In August, GEXA Group opened a representative office of Gexa France in France, which will be engaged in the export of products from Russia to Europe. The representative office is organized in the commune of Villeneuve-Loubet in the south-east of France in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region.
