President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini visited GEVORKYAN, a.s. on Tuesday 25 March 2025.

When Artur Gevorkyan received the award Trend Top Manager of the Year 2024, he touched everyone with his sincerity when he thanked the Slovak Republic and all Slovaks for the opportunity to work and live here freely. He praised the warmth of the Slovaks, their openness to accept and help foreigners, their non-conflicting nature and especially their respect for the working man. Since he is an emigrant himself and one third of his employees are also emigrants from different countries, it was felt that these were not just empty words. The President of the Slovak Republic, Peter Pellegrini, met him personally after the official part and during the conversation he expressed his interest in visiting a company with such a unique corporate culture.

During the visit, the President had the opportunity to show the entire company, including the R&D departments and laboratories, where the company develops unique products and materials for robots, aerospace and drones. He was also intrigued by the company's extraordinary growth, which is directly linked to the unique technologies and know-how used in the production of components for the growing arms industry.

President Pellegrini expressed his admiration to Mr Gevorkyan and his company for their contribution to the Slovak Republic. He appreciated his conscientious and open approach to people and to everything he does, the commitment with which he does it and the creation of a unique corporate culture where everyone gets a chance to ensure a decent life through their honest work.

"It is a great honour for me that the President of the Republic, even though I am not a citizen, has taken the time to visit our company. We went from the offices through all sections of production. The sincere interest of the President and the respectful, human communication directly at the workplaces was the best appreciation for the people for their many years of honest work in Slovakia, no matter where they came from. We thank the President on behalf of all of us, and we wish the whole of Slovakia and you personally a prudent and calm handling of all that this turbulent period brings." Artur Gevorkyan said.
