His procurement activity is heavily concentrated in technical and scientific domains. The primary focus is on Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, complemented by a strong emphasis on the repair and maintenance of electronic and precision equipment. Additionally, his expertise extends to the procurement of testing laboratory services and the manufacturing of in-vitro diagnostic substances.
