This company is mentioned only in the Accountability Report of VMRO-DPMNE for 2016, and BIRN has not found any specific evidence of the existence of this company in the country. A company under such or a similar name has not been registered at the Public Revenue Office and Internet searches fail to provide any information about the existence of the company in Macedonia.
According to the Accountability Report of VMRO-DPMNE, MDS Medical Limited is a British company operating in the medical device industry. In March 2015 this company took the decision to invest together with a Macedonian company in a factory for production of autoclaves and other medical device sterilization machines.
"The machines will be 100% made in Macedonia. The investment is in its implementation phase in an existing building in Skopje and the company already has 15 employees. The mass production will be realized by the end of 2016 and they are expected to employ 50 people. The investment is estimated to 2 million pounds", is stated in the report.
BIRN contacted MDS Medical Limited via e-mail to make sure that this information was accurate, but received no response.
