First Georgia-Made TVs to Appear in Georgian Stores

Georgian-Azerbaijan produced LED Televisions of the AG brand are to arrive in Georgia’s technology stores in late May – early June this year. This is the first joint project between the two countries for television production. After the Georgian market is satisfied, the TVs will be sold in Azerbaijan and perhaps even sent for export.

The TV producing factory of AG Microelectronics is located in Rustavi, Georgia. According to its director, Soso Mazmishvili, the screens themselves are made by a Hong Kong company while the remaining parts are made and assembled on-site in Georgia.

The 32 inch and 40 inch televisions are equipped with digital and cable signal support and have a three year guarantee. Their original prices are USD 180 (400 GEL) and USD 280 (600 GEL), respectively.

Although AG Microelectronics claim that the retail price will increase, as the basic calculation is made for clients with an average income they promise the price will continue to be competitive.

After entering the Georgian and Azerbaijani market, the company will receive a European certificate and send its product to the foreign markets.

The Georgian-Azerbaijan AG Microelectronics has been operating in the Georgian market for two years, with the AG Telekom Company opening in Rustavi in 2013. The factory produces a set top box, LED-light bulbs, TV Box for MyVideo, and other equipment.
