The wool-spinning and dyeing factory will be commissioned in Sumgayit in 2019, Deputy Minister of Economy of Azerbaijan Niyazi Safarov told reporters July.

In this direction, the country has established "Azerhalcha" OJSC, the state program of development and protection of carpet art for 2018-2023 has been adopted, the professional day of carpet-weaving has been approved. The systematic and comprehensive decisions on establishment of factories in the regions of the country and provision of them with the necessary raw materials have also been taken," Safarov said.
The Deputy Minister noted that, 10 carpet weaving workshops were put into operation in the country last year. The work is also underway to commission another ten new workshops this year.
"The centers for procurement of wool will also be established," the Deputy Minister said.
The foundation of wool spinning and dyeing factory was laid in the Sumgayit Chemical Industrial Park at the end of last year. The systematic work on the implementation of this project is underway currently.
