YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, ARMENPRESS. "Megerian Carpets" company has almost a century old history in the sphere of artisan carpets production, notwithstanding the production launched in Armenia only in 2000s. The Marketing Manager of the company Hayk Ayvazyan stated: "The first factory was opened in New York in 1917. Afterwards new factories were opened in Pakistan, Egypt, China, Romania, Afghanistan, and India." A factory belonging to "Armenian Carpet" company is being equipped in Armenia due to the efforts of the Megerians. Presently the factory is engaged in production and selling of the antique and artisan carpets.

The secret of success of the company is in diligence and unique production.

In Hayk Ayvazyan's opinion the secret of success of the company is in the dedication of the workers and administration. Among other things Hayk Ayvazyan noted: "We have been working over the development of the present technologies for about five years. No manufacturer shares his secrets with others. The development of your own technologies is a difficult procedure, which takes a lot of time. It takes thirty days from a person to make a carpet of 1 square metres. Although the procedure does not end here."

The local raw materials are used to make the carpets, but the market reaches Vatican.

Local raw materials are used in the production of "Megerian Carpets". In his speech Hayk Ayvazyan laid a heavy emphasis on the fact that there are almost no troubles regarding acquiring raw materials. The main problems refer to the consumption. Notwithstanding Hayk Ayvazyan was proud to announce that Norman Rockefeller, Billy Johns, Cardinals from Vatican and many other distinguished persons bought Armenian artisan carpets.
