Marat Aizatullin took part in the opening of a new plant for the production of refrigeration equipment
The Rais of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, opened a new Sovital plant for the production of refrigeration equipment for retail and catering as part of a working trip to Nizhnekamsk. The event was attended by Mikhail Yurin, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia, Albert Karimov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia, and Marat Aizatullin, Minister of Construction, Architecture and Housing of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The company has established full–cycle serial production, from metal cutting to the production of finished products. Automated rolling steel cutting lines, a high-performance complex for filling polyurethane foam housings, an automated assembly line for refrigerating cabinets and other equipment have been installed using FRP facilities. The level of localization of production exceeds 65%.
Rustam Minnikhanov noted that this project is aimed at providing the Russian market with refrigeration equipment, as well as reducing dependence on foreign suppliers. "The plant was built in a short time and has become a significant contribution to the technological leadership and industrial sustainability of our country. Investments amounted to about 1 billion rubles. The plant's capacity is 50 thousand products per year, it is planned to increase to 100 thousand. 119 jobs have been created, and we plan to increase it to 200," said Rais RT.
The plant has become another resident of the Nizhnekamsk Industrial Park. "Today, 16 companies are already operating on the site, 425 jobs have been created. There is a good potential for further development," added Rustam Minnikhanov.
