The demand for this type of product began to grow even during the coronavirus pandemic, now it has intensified. The company's turnover has grown 2.5 times. In this regard, the company has increased its production capacity, increased the number of jobs from 25 to 50 people. The company has invested about 20 million rubles in the expansion of production.
