The engineering director Fyarid Kutaev gave a tour over the industrial premises.

He said that enterprises of the Russian Federation and neighboring countries are the consumers of the plant’s products; in particular, the equipment is exported to Belarus, Moldova, and Kazakhstan.

According to Fyarid Kutaev, machines manufactured in Penza are in demand at large and medium-sized enterprises of metallurgy, machine-building, fuel, woodworking, chemical, oil and gas industries.

Dummy engineering buildings with a list of manufactured products and the geography of deliveries of industrial machines were shown to the presidential envoy and the region head.

Particular emphasis was placed on the fact that since 2015 the company has been implementing the project for production of two new types of machines – vertical turning machines with numerical program control and vertical turning 5-axis machining units.

Mikhail Babich and Ivan Belozertsev were also informed that in the current year serial production of screw-cutting lathes of series CT16K20 will start. In addition, the enterprise develops production of turning machines of series ST25 and screw-cutting lathes with numerical program control of series CT16A25.

The main topic of the business talk of the officials was rendering assistance to “Stankomashstroy” plant in solving ongoing production problems in compliance with the import substitution policy pursued by the government. 

As the governor of the Penza region Ivan Belozertsev noted, the company actively masters new technologies, develops its own new machines, and puts them into full scale production.

“Along with that, they have to compete not only with Russian but also with foreign manufacturers of machine tools. The support at the Volga Federal District level is important and necessary for our company,” the head of the region said.

Ivan Belozertsev also drew attention to the fact that in the present circumstances, the efforts of the authorities of all levels should be directed to the development of the local industry and creating new job positions.

“Manufacturing our own machines for different sectors of the economy is the priority of today, and we strive to make Penza companies contribute to solving these all-Russian tasks,” he emphasized
