Aptos Opens First FDA Approved Factory in Georgia

Aptos opened the first sterile medical production factory in Georgia. 

This is also the first enterprise in the Caucasus to provide a space for producing aesthetic medical products. The complex consists not only of a production line but also office infrastructure and it provides jobs for more than 150 people. 

The company started developing a Georgian production complex in 2016. In 2018, in the framework of the Enterprise Georgia project, Aptos was granted 10,000 square meters of land to build the first Georgian enterprise for aesthetic medical products. City Hall issued the permit to build the factory in December 2018. It also received financial support, with the Enterprise Georgia Agency to co-finance the interest rate of the loan for the next two years.

Aptos is a non-invasive thread and method of face and body lifting, contouring, and rejuvenation. The methods have been invented in 1996 by Georgian plastic surgeon Marlen Sulamanidze and have been developed by Dr. Giorgi and Konstantine Sulamanidze. The plastic thread and the methods of installing have obtained 18 patents of which 8 are international.
