Sergei Sidorsky, who is in Gomel on a working trip, attended the ceremony to unveil the two 10ml and 20ml syringe production lines at Medplast Company. According to the Head of Government, the new equipment will help meet the demand of the country’s medical establishments in indigenously-made syringes. Today the demand reaches 180 million items per year. The production capacity of 190 million syringes gives an opportunity to start exports. Sergei Sidorsky set forth a task to double the syringe production and “advance onto foreign markets”. For these purposes the company should purchase additional high-quality equipment. An increase in the output and exports will help raise the average wages of the company’s personnel up to Br1 million a month.
