The Founder of Peace and National Unity – the Leader of the Nation, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, respected Emomali Rahmon, and the Chairman of the Assembly of Representatives of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Mayor of Dushanbe, respected Rustam Emomali, inaugurated the Limited Liability Company “Composite T. A.” in Dushanbe.
The establishment of the enterprise was carried out within the wise policy of the respected Leader of the Nation, Emomali Rahmon, to achieve the country’s highest strategic goals, including accelerated industrialization.
We remind, on September 17, 2019, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, respected Emomali Rahmon, and the Mayor of Dushanbe, respected Rustam Emomali, laid the foundation stone in the Chorteppa Mahalla of Sino district, officially launching the construction of the fiberglass pipe production enterprise “Composite T. A.”.
At the enterprise, more than 150 people are provided with permanent jobs, which annually will be busy to produce up to 150 kilometers of pipes of various diameters ranging from 300 to 3000 millimeters. The production of fiberglass pipes will be established for the first time in the country.
The company’s products are import-substituting and it will also be exported, contributing to the country’s needs. It should be underlined that the Limited Liability Company “Composite T. A.” is a joint venture established in collaboration with one of the leading Azerbaijani companies – “Azkompozit.” In the near future, the company’s management intends to train local specialists to ensure high-quality production that meets international standards.
Analysis shows that using fiberglass pipes domestically is economically advantageous. These pipes, regardless of length or size, are very lightweight, making their installation and use simple. Additionally, fiberglass pipes are resistant to high pressure and temperature. The production of pipes primarily involves materials such as quartz sand, glass fiber, and pitch. There are many deposits of quartz sand, with plans to expand the use of this resource inside Tajikistan. Other raw materials are imported until an internal source is found.
After the inauguration of the facility, the respected Head of the State Emomali Rahmon and the Mayor of Dushanbe, the respected Rustam Emomali, participated in the presentation of buses.
