Anagi – 30 Years of Stability

The business story of Anagi starts in Ajara, when in 1989 Zaza Gogolishvili, a youth from Batumi, along with friends, founded a company, which expanded later and became the leader of the construction sector of the country. The Anagi Company has implemented multiple interesting projects so far.  Development-oriented and based on the team-work principles, the company has over 200 completed and more than 22 ongoing constructions on its list.

Irakli Gogolishvili, the Director General of the company, has been the member of Anagi Company nearly for 12 years. Financier by the profession, he has been obtaining experience in the sphere of construction. After working as the Head of the financial department at the government services for multiple years, he found himself in the field of construction and has gone through almost all the stages from financial assistant to Director General over the years.

“I found myself interested in the construction sector right after joining the Anagi Company. This interest helped me to discover more about the peculiarities of the field. It is a very large, difficult and ever-developing sphere, where there are new technologies implemented permanently. All of that needs the constant follow up. There have been various obstacles and hindering conditions for these 12 years, including the year if 2008, when we had to carry out our work in very difficult circumstances. And our company still managed to follow the path of the stable development and progress in an instable environ,” says Irakli Gogolishvili.

Public-industrial construction is the major field of operation of Anagi, covering the entire specter of the sector, from designing work to handing in the project. The working plan for the upcoming 3-4 years has already been set and along with the ongoing projects, the works regarding some perspective projects are actively underway. There are nearly 2000 employees at Anagi, boasting high-qualified engineer-technical staff. The core of the members of staff has been working for the company for years.
