BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 16. Turkmenistan's Aýdyň
Gijeler has opened a company in Eswatini focused on ID cards and
biometric passports.
This was announced by Aýdyň Gijeler in a press release published
on June 16.
"The company, "Aýdyň Gijeler Eswatini," will be responsible for
implementing and supplying ID cards and biometric passports to
citizens of the Kingdom of Eswatini,” the press release says.
The company noted that the project is aimed at modernizing the
country's identification system through the introduction of secure
documents that comply with international standards of quality and
security.
The statement added that the launch of the enterprise was
approved by King Mswati III, reflecting the strategic importance of
the initiative for Eswatini.
According to Aýdyň Gijeler, the project marks a new stage in the
company's international expansion and in economic cooperation
between Turkmenistan and Eswatini.
Aýdyň gijeler was founded in 2016 as part of Turkmenistan’s
state policy to develop domestic electronics production. The
company operates under a public-private partnership model, with 49%
owned by the state, represented by the Ministry of Industry and
Construction Production, and 51% by private business.
Its production complex spans more than 5 hectares and includes
over 10 workshops, manufacturing more than 30 types of products
ranging from LED lighting and cable products to computer hardware
and telecommunications equipment.
Initially focused on energy-efficient LED lamp production, with
a capacity exceeding 1 million units annually, the company later
expanded into digital electronics. By 2020, it had launched
production of smart TVs, tablets, smartphones, and IT solutions for
government and industrial needs. The company also produces cable
products with an annual capacity of up to 80 million meters and
participates in international projects with foreign partners.
Nowadays, Aýdyň Gijeler is considered a key element of
Turkmenistan’s import substitution strategy and is gradually
expanding its presence in foreign markets.
