During the working visit of the delegation of the Krasnoyarsk Territory to the Republic of Belarus, attention was paid to cooperation with key partners that will contribute to the development of industry in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
In particular, the meeting participants discussed the prospects of establishing a joint venture for the production and repair of mining equipment for the needs of MMC Norilsk Nickel. The basis for the new production will be cooperation with the Belarusian machine-building giant OAO BelAZ, the world leader in the production of mining equipment, whose market share in the Krasnoyarsk Territory reaches 60%. During the negotiations, the organization of a modern enterprise in Sosnovoborsk for the serial production and overhaul of underground dump trucks and loading machines was discussed. As BelAZ representatives noted, the company is developing a line of equipment for underground operations, where the Norilsk Mining and Metallurgical Combine is both a key consumer and an expert. We have already jointly developed the first industrial model of a loading and delivery machine with a lifting capacity of 17 tons. In the near future, this machine will be delivered to Norilsk for comprehensive testing in real-world conditions at existing mines. The data obtained will allow us to quickly refine the design and start mass production.
Sergey Vereshchagin, Chairman of the Government of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: “The Krasnoyarsk Territory is committed to strengthening business ties with the Belarusian side and is open to suggestions. A visit to machine-building plants, with which we have established strong business contacts over the years, gave us the opportunity to make sure once again that much larger projects are ahead of us, the implementation of which will benefit the development of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Belarus.”
Sergey Chibisov, a member of the delegation of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, founder of the Belarus trading house, which has been supplying special equipment since 2002: “Our company has sold more than 5,000 units of Belarusian equipment in 22 years of operation. We are official dealers of such enterprises as MAZ, MTZ, Belkommunmash, Amkodor. In the near future, we plan to participate in a competition for the supply of buses for Krasnoyarsk, Norilsk and Achinsk, resume an electric vehicle assembly project, and significantly increase sales of agricultural machinery in the region.”
Sergey Petrov, Chairman of the Krasnoyarsk Regional branch of OPORA RUSSIA: “Today we are already seeing concrete results of cooperation with Belarusian enterprises. A striking example is the supply of aluminum profiles and sheets to factories in Belarus, where they undergo high-tech processing, after which the finished products are returned to the Russian market. This is an effective model of cooperation that can and should be scaled up to other industries.”
Olga Korosteleva, General Director of the Yenisei Siberia Development Corporation, noted that all the necessary conditions have been created in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for the development of the manufacturing industry. In particular, the existing cluster “Engineering of Siberia” can become an effective platform for the implementation of joint projects with Belarusian partners, providing synergy of competencies and production capacities.
Olga Korosteleva, General Director of the Yenisei Siberia Development Corporation: “The cluster allows attracting federal government support measures. Participants in the industrial cluster are provided with a package of preferences, including the opportunity to receive a loan at a discounted rate of up to 100 billion rubles, reduced insurance premium rates, subsidies for reimbursement of costs for the purchase of components, and others. This can help strengthen the agreements reached and bring industrial cooperation to a qualitatively new level – from individual supplies to the creation of full-fledged joint ventures.”
