Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Exports $2 Million Dollars Food Industry Machinery to Africa
“Our company operates in the field of production of food industry machinery, all kinds of dairy industry machinery, fruit drying machines, potato slicer lines, and pizza cheese machinery,” Hassan Abdollahzadeh, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“We managed to firstly sign a one million dollar contract with the Ugandan businessmen; in the first phase, a one-million-dollar contract was inked, and in the second phase, a two-million-dollar contract was endorsed,” he added.
“The contract includes equipping, setting up and training the production lines of drying industries for making chocolate-like fruit leather, different foods and tree fruits, and sorting the fifth and sixth grade fruits,” Abdollahzadeh said.
Earlier this year, researchers of a technological company in Iran had also managed to make a cooling drying device needed by industries active in the materials engineering, agricultural, chemistry and pharmaceutical fields.
“We have sold nearly 20 of these cooling drying machines to different industries in the past three years,” said Siamak Aziminam, the managing director of the technological company.
He added that the device enjoys a favorable quality and price, stating, “We are trying to present the product to the international market.”
Noting that the drying device was not well known in the scientific community and was used only in medical sub-branches until some years ago, Aziminam said, “We tried to introduce this technology to the industry and now these devices are used in various fields. We have recieved orders for purchasing from different industries like material engineering, agriculture, chemistry, nanotechnology, and medicine.”
