Belarusian textile enterprise Mogotex will supply innovative fabrics worth $300,000 to the law enforcement agencies of Uzbekistan, BelTA reported.
The corresponding agreements have been reached at the Made in Belarus exhibition, which was held in September in Tashkent. The Belarusian company presented its products at the collective stand of light industry enterprises.
The innovative fabrics for uniforms and workwear, as well as home textiles, are manufactured using aramid fibers and anti-static threads that provide fire resistance and protection from the effects of an electric arc.

Fabrics and products of the company are exported to more than 15 countries of the world, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Lithuania, Germany.
Earlier it was reported that the Belarusian enterprise Kamvol can start supplying fabrics for school uniforms to Uzbekistan.
In 1H2018, the exports of Bellegprom (Belarusian light industry concern) to Uzbekistan amounted to $293,900, which is 5.1 percent more compared to the same period last year. Export deliveries grew primarily due to an increase in the export of fabrics (3.4 times), hosiery (7 times) and corsetry (1.7 times).
The main exports are sewing and knitted goods, linens made from cellulosic fibers (Iskozh), artificial and synthetic fabrics (Mogotex, Kamvol), knitted fabrics (Belfa), textile haberdashery (Lenta), etc.
