Branded merchandise for Tkibuli-based mining and industrial buyers, the local hospitality and education cluster, and the wider Tkibuli municipality. Production in Tbilisi, dispatch via Kutaisi to Tkibuli in roughly 4 hours, with VAT 18% e-invoicing through RS.ge.
Tkibuli is one of Georgia's classic mining towns, sitting in the Tkibula gorge about 40 km northeast of Kutaisi and historically the centre of the country's underground coal extraction. The working economy runs on the Tkibuli coal mines — operations that have been the town's economic backbone since the Soviet period and continue to employ a significant share of the local workforce — alongside the small hospitality and education cluster that services the mine workers and their families.
The Tkibuli order profile is dominated by mid-volume runs of industrial workwear and mining-sector merch — hi-vis outerwear, branded overalls, embroidered polos for management staff, and PPE accessories. The town sits in a compact geographic footprint that makes logistics economical for mining-procurement cycles, and the standard catalogue of corporate-apparel gifts for visiting delegations sits alongside the workwear orders.
The Tbilisi–Tkibuli route runs west on the Mtskheta–Khashuri highway, then south through the Rikoti tunnel to Kutaisi, and northeast from Kutaisi up the Tkibula gorge. Total drive time is 4 hours in dry weather and 4.5–5 hours in winter. Most orders to Tkibuli move by road with overnight trucking available for the heavier drops that go out to the mining operation and the surrounding villages.
For mining-industry buyers the timing matters: the mine operates year-round with planned maintenance windows in late spring and autumn. We coordinate the dispatch cadence with the operation's procurement cycle and stage stock near the receiving warehouse 24–48 hours before scheduled deliveries. We also keep a small buffer of blank hi-vis apparel in our Saburtalo workshop for emergency restocks.

The Imereti state representative office, the Tkibuli municipality, and the local departments of culture and heritage publish most of their procurement through procurement.gov.ge. The order profile is civic-recognition awards, event-day kits tied to Imereti regional events and limited-run souvenirs.
Production runs from our Tbilisi cluster — silkscreen, embroidery, DTF, sublimation, UV flatbed and laser engraving are all in-house. For Tkibuli mining-industry buyers we typically recommend hi-vis embroidery on outerwear and workwear, silkscreen on cotton and poly-cotton apparel, UV print on PPE accessories, and laser engraving on metal accessories. Lead time is 5–12 business days after artwork sign-off for textile decoration; 3–7 business days for hard goods.
For DCFTA-aligned export buyers (European mining-equipment suppliers and industrial distributors) we prepare EUR.1 movement certificates and CMR waybills for cross-border road freight via the Sarpi–Turkey crossing on the Black Sea coast. Air freight for time-sensitive restocks runs through Kutaisi International Airport cargo with AWB documentation and onward truck to Tkibuli.
The minimum run in Georgia is 30 units for most categories. Mining and industrial orders typically fall in the 100–500 unit range; municipal tender lots run 200–1,000 units. Above 500 units we apply volume pricing. Send the brief and we come back with options, pricing in GEL, and timing within one Tbilisi business day.
