According to the Director, the Armenian Defense Ministry is the main customer and consumer of the enterprise’s products. The Ministry of Territorial Administration and Emergency Situations of Armenia also purchases the factory’s products.

“All company’s employees are Armenians. Only I am Polish here. The majority of our employees have attended trainings in Poland. The number of our employees will increase once the demand for our products increases,” said Jarosław Ruch.

The director expressed the hope that Lubawa Armenia would enlarge its production within a short period of time expanding to the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and other foreign markets.

“Armenia has a small market and therefore most of our production should be exported. I hope the negotiations will yield desired results,” said the Lubawa Armenia Director.

According to him, other companies operating in the defense industry sector may follow the success of Lubawa Armenia, thus increasing Polish investments in Armenia’s defense.
