Official Hails Rise in Production at SAIPA Group
Deputy Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade and Head of Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO) Mr. Mohsen Salehinia during his visit of SAIPA Group hailed the brave action of the group in halting the production of Pride cars in the heat of sanctions and increasing the number of its daily production by 130 percent comparing to 2018 and called it an example of dynamic capability and flexibility of auto industry and serious development at SAIPA Group.
According to the head of policy-making body for auto production in the country, attention to the tough condition of auto industry due to the international sanctions and Coronavirus restrictions will double the value of these changes.
Salehinia also said that the increase of products from four in 2018 to seven products in the current year with better quality is the sign of efforts of this industry to attract the satisfaction of its customers, adding that although it is praiseworthy, this trend for improvement should be pursued strongly.
He said that despite early shocks for reimposition of the U.S. sanctions in the past two years, Iran’s auto industry has reached higher level of its capability with relying on its international cooperation experiences and focusing on indigenization of auto parts.
Then the CEO of SAIPA Group Mr. Seyed Javad Soleimani, for his part, pointed to the expertly supports of IDRO as the policy-making body for auto production, and said the rise in the number of production despite the halt in production of Pride cars which accounted for 700 percent of SAIPA’s products is a serious step.
