About us
"Dustr Marianna" LLC was founded in 1997 by Tigran Vardanyan. By introducing modern technologies and equipment, becoming stronger year by year, the company is already one of the leaders in the field of dairy industry and has its own place in the Armenian dairy market.
High-quality raw materials are important for us. We cooperate with the farms of Artik, Karmir, Talin, Aparan, Ashtarak and other regions in terms of milk acquisition and procurement. The milk brought to the factory first of all undergoes chemical and microbiological examination in the company's laboratories. All our laboratories are equipped with modern equipment. If it meets the requirements of the standard, the milk is accepted by the company. The entire production process, from the reception of milk to the distribution of finished products to shops, is under a strict laboratory control. The containers are disposable. Before packaging, they undergo sterilization with specially installed UV lamps.
We have thought about even the smallest details. A special ventilation system is installed in our production building, due to which the air entering the factory undergoes double cleaning, air humidity and temperature are normalized.
Thus, we ensure high sanitary and hygienic standards throughout the production process.
