On 5 November, a plant to produce extruded aluminum profiles was inaugurated in Brest District within the FEZ. “The main consumers of this product will be companies that manufacture electrical equipment, household appliances, and machinery. The plant's management has already established contacts [with such companies]," the administration head noted.
