Certificate Validity Sustained

Under an official agreement, Pakdemy acquired the shares and ownership of two other companies. The "Alee Group" which conducted educational activities in the field of packaging and printing in Iran, and the "Prepressdaily Group" from Turkey, which operated in production, color control, and issuing quality control certifications, now continue their operations as subsidiaries of Pakdemy. All certificates previously issued by these two entities remain fully valid, and Pakdemy assumes full commitment to support and honor them.
