Luxfarmol (Tvardita) enters the US sanitizer market.
Semen Dyulger, Luxfarmol CEO, told InfoMarket that the USA Food and Drug Administration has granted a registration certificate for the Tvardita disinfectant, allowing it to be sold throughout the United States. The first export consignment consisted of 240 thousand single sanitizer doses. It is the first and only Moldovan sanitizer that has been approved for sale on the American market. Monodose-sanitizer is intended for individual single use and contains 3 ml of hand sanitizer (dose recommended by WHO). Such a product is in demand by airlines, restaurants, hotels, beauty salons, gas stations, etc. According to Semen Dyulger, Luxfarmol has already signed contracts for the supply of monodose sanitizer with the Belarusian Belavia (Белавиа), as well as with the Romanian and Italian carriers. Negotiations are also underway with representatives of Turkish Airlines and Russian Aeroflot (Аэрофлот). Luxfarmol has been operating since 2008 and is a resident of the Tvardita Free Economic Zone. Since 2011, the company has been producing disinfectants. Prior to the pandemic, Luxfarmol production volumes were about 40 tons per year, half of which was exported to Ukraine. In the domestic market, the goods were supplied mainly to medical institutions, to customs and border checkpoints, as well as for the needs of the army and police units. The sales volume of Luxfarmol increased significantly during the pandemic: if in 2018 sales reached 4.7 million lei, and in 2019 - 1.2 million lei, then in 2020 the sales volume of Luxfarmol reached 55 million lei, and the production profitability was about 20%. Last year, the company expanded its range of antiseptics in various dosages: antibacterial gel and monodose gel appeared in the production line. Luxfarmol products are registered in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Italy, Great Britain and the USA, and the company continues to invest in promoting its products in Western markets. It is investing as well in laboratory research to obtain local certifications. The total investment of Luxfarmol is estimated at $2 million // 30.04.2021 – InfoMarket
