At the initiative of C4IR under the Ministry of Economy of Azerbaijan, representatives from the MEXT Technology Center, affiliated with the Turkish Employers' Association of Metal Industries, along with the management and staff of Azertexnolayn, visited the steel pipe production plant at Sumgayit Chemical Industrial Park.
