In December 2022, we opened our own production site — a center for the production and testing of thermal-mechanical equipment for nuclear power plants.
One of the center’s advantages is its ability to meet our own testing needs for the equipment we manufacture. Where technical limitations arise, we cooperate closely with testing centers in Russia and abroad to carry out the required tests.
A total area of 980 square meters, including office, production and testing facilities.
The production and testing center holds the necessary licenses and certificates.
Established logistics chains and a convenient location ensure short delivery times for semi-finished products.
All the engineering services and utilities required for comfortable and safe work.
