Tehran, April 21, The Iran Project - Iranian Vice President for Science and Technology Affairs has inaugurated the first export production line of a knowledge-based company.

Iranian Vice President for Science and Technology Affairs Sorena Sattari opened the first export production line of an electrospinning device produced by a knowledge-based company, called “Nano Fanavaran –Meghyas” (Scale Nanotechnology Company) on Thursday.

Thanks to the support of Vice President for Science and Technology Affairs, the company could put the electrospinning device or nanofibers production machine into industrial production, said Dr. Reza Faridi Majidi, Managing Director of Scale Nanotechnology Company in the opening ceremony.

Dr. Faridi explained that after years of doing research on nanofibers, and using the foreign machines, we found that the devices cannot be developed so we decided to produce the internal model.

Referring to the developments of the knowledge-based companies, he also said we have already exported the machine to Nigeria and Malaysia.

The company has also sold the device to South Korea at high prices, he added.

Speaking about different usages of the nanofibers produced by electrospinning system, he said they  can be used in power plants, filters, respiratory masks, etc.
