n 2025, the Tbilisi Free Industrial Zone (TFZ) further strengthened its position as one of the most attractive hubs for international business. A new, innovative Georgian enterprise — Khmiadi Mardi Co — has launched operations inside the zone, introducing the production of premium-quality flatbread (assortment of unleavened lavash / tortilla) and preparing its products for export markets.
The company’s concept combines traditional Georgian flavors with modern global trends, positioning it strongly for international success. Notably, global demand for flatbreads has been steadily increasing due to their versatility and cultural appeal (tastetomorrow.com ), making Khmiadi Mardi’s initiative both timely and highly promising.
Premium Quality and Diverse Product Range
Khmiadi Mardi is already active on the Georgian bakery market and is distinguished by its use of high-grade raw materials (bp.ge). The company works exclusively with premium ingredients — including stone-milled flour imported from Germany — and offers a wide range of unleavened flatbread varieties.
Its product development is based on advanced recipes combining Georgian culinary heritage with innovative ingredients and modern baking techniques.
The consistent use of high-quality raw materials and a diverse recipe portfolio form the core of the company’s strategy. By merging traditional Georgian products with contemporary standards, Khmiadi Mardi aims to offer consumers a premium, refined choice. This commitment to quality enables the company to cater to a wide range of tastes both locally and globally, reinforcing its image as a modern, innovative Georgian brand.
Why TFZ?
Tax Incentives
Companies registered in the Tbilisi Free Industrial Zone are fully exempt from all corporate taxes, significantly reducing operating costs and boosting competitiveness (tfz.ge).
Additionally, enterprises operating in the zone benefit from zero VAT on exports, no tax on dividends, and other important fiscal advantages, providing substantial financial flexibility.
Customs Support
TFZ offers simplified customs procedures and import–export benefits: goods and raw materials brought into the zone are not subject to import duties, and exported products are exempt from customs taxes.
The customs checkpoint located directly at the TFZ entrance ensures fast cargo flow and reduces logistics costs.
Modern Infrastructure
TFZ provides fully equipped industrial and warehouse facilities with all necessary utilities (electricity, water, gas, sewage) and paved access roads (tfz.ge ).
The infrastructure enables companies to start operations immediately and is supported by additional on-site services essential for high-quality production.
Geographical Advantage
Georgia’s strategic location between Europe and Asia allows TFZ-based companies to manage logistics and supply chains more efficiently — a key factor for export-oriented production (tfz.ge ).
TFZ’s location in Tbilisi’s outskirts, near the international airport, regional borders, and 290 km from Poti Port, creates ideal conditions for fast and cost-effective regional and global distribution.
Flexible Business Environment
TFZ’s streamlined regulatory environment enables companies to begin operations quickly, with one-day company registration, fast licensing, and minimal bureaucracy (tfz.ge ).
Khmiadi Mardi has already benefited from this advantage, allowing the company to immediately focus on production and growth without administrative delays.
The establishment of Khmiadi Mardi Co within TFZ underscores the zone’s role as a platform supporting innovation-driven businesses.
The company’s operations will not only generate economic benefits — including new jobs and improved trade balance through export-oriented production — but will also contribute to the introduction of modern technologies and innovative practices in Georgia’s food industry.
Presenting a modern interpretation of traditional Georgian lavash / tortilla to the global market enhances Georgia’s image as an emerging international hub for business, innovation, and high-quality production (tfz.ge).
TFZ, in turn, continues offering a unique business environment that supports the rapid growth and global success of new projects.
