Nearly 13,000 Iranian-owned companies are registered in Georgia as of June 2025, many of them clustered at a handful of repeat addresses in Tbilisi and the small villages of Dunta and Untsa, according to public records and an investigation by the Georgian nongovernmental organization Civic IDEA. Iranian consultancies advise Iranian businessmen to register companies near Georgian ports, rebrand Iranian-origin goods as “Made in Georgia,” and ship them onward to Western markets. Iranian firms have also supplied Georgian state entities: Qafrina LLC, owned by Iranian national Farzad Nouri, sold closed-circuit television systems to the National Bank of Georgia, courts in Kutaisi, and Tbilisi City Hall; another Iranian-owned firm, Geo Tech, provided hygiene products to the Georgian Defense Ministry, Georgian Railways, and Tbilisi’s municipal transport company, according to Georgian tender records cited in the article. Iranian-Georgian joint venture Green Lab LLC contracted with Georgia's National Center for Disease Control in 2019 to provide medical reagents and testing kits.
