World Famous Jeans to Be Produced in West Georgia

Zara, Mango, Bershka and Massimo Dutti jeans will start to be produced in Ozurgeti, West Georgia from 2018.

The region of Guria's Governor Press Office reports that Turkish company Baykanlar will invest 2 million GEL and employ 300 people in the first instance. 

Over the next three years, they plan to increase the investment volume by up to $15 million and employ up to 1500 people.

Governor Gia Salukvadze said that the company Baykanlar was actively researching the possibility of opening a sewing factory in Georgia and held meetings in different regions of the country.

“The decision has been made to open the factory as a result of the intensive cooperation of the regional administration as well as Turkish side,” Guria governor stated.

Georgian company Ozurgeti Garment- has already been registered for the project. The founders of the LLC have addressed the Ministry of Economy over the handover of real estate within the frames of the state-led program Produce in Georgia. The agreement between the Georgian side and Turkish company will be signed in the near future.
