In the words of the General Director

Equipment

I would also like to point out that most of the equipment used to make matrixes and other small items is designed and manufactured in our company.
Oleg Mikhalev, General Director · RUSSIAN BUSINESS GUIDE, July 2023, p. 4

A complete production cycle

But when we talk about uniqueness, it is in the production processes - in the developed technologies and production equipment. For example, we have implemented a complete production cycle for grinding disks: from the production of abrasive belts to the finished disk. And all this with high quality and production runs of millions of pieces!
Oleg Mikhalev, General Director · RUSSIAN BUSINESS GUIDE, July 2023, p. 5

Dealers rather than branches

We are building a diversified distribution system, including regional dealers of different levels. We do not consider it expedient to create full-fledged branches.
Oleg Mikhalev, General Director · RUSSIAN BUSINESS GUIDE, July 2023, p. 5

Three coincidences

  1. The production building in Voronezh and the office building in Moscow were both originally transformer substations.
  2. The names of the streets where the plant and the office stand both relate to invention: Kulibina Street and Novatorov Street.
  3. In the year the company was founded, 1999, the film “The Matrix” came out.
