The results of the work of the industry of the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2022 were summed up at a meeting with the participation of Governor Gleb Nikitin. Metallurgy has become the leader among the manufacturing industries in terms of shipment growth: plus 31% in monetary terms. As Viktor Klochay, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ruspolimet, noted, all the group's enterprises completed last year with growth, while the foundations for sustainable development in the future were created.
The heads of the leading enterprises of the region gathered in the stamp hall of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair on March 31. Gleb Nikitin thanked the industrialists for their work in 2022. By joint efforts of the government and business, it was possible to prevent negative consequences in the conditions of external pressure. The industry maintained positive dynamics at the end of the year: physical production volumes increased by 0.1%, shipments in monetary terms - by 12%.
"Of course, this made it possible to prevent the scientific and technological process from stopping at enterprises. They are all developing, and we are confidently looking to the future," the governor said.
The head of the regional Ministry of Industry Maxim Cherkasov introduced the results by industry. Metallurgy has become the leader among the processing industries in terms of shipment growth in monetary terms: plus 31%. The largest Nizhny Novgorod metallurgical enterprises continue investment projects.
"In 2022, Ruspolimet JSC implemented a number of investment projects to create new and modernize existing production facilities with a total investment of more than 1.7 billion rubles, which allowed the company to increase revenue by more than 5 billion rubles in 2022," the minister said.
According to Viktor Klochai, all the group's enterprises completed last year with a positive result. "I am very grateful to the teams of all the enterprises of the group. All, without exception, finished the year with growth, and with growth slightly greater than in the region: Ruspolimet - by 31%, Grankom - by 46%, Drobmash - by 60%, - said the head of the Ruspolimet group
Drobmash, according to the industrialist, has serious groundwork in the development of the production of gasostats - aggregates for the production of products from metal powders. This is a new direction for the plant and the most important for the country.
"A lot of work was done last year, which allowed this year, in March, to conduct hydro-tests of a unique unit - a gas station, the 3rd in size in the world. The hydro-tests were successful, and there is confidence that the project has taken place. Today there are already orders for 6-7 gas stations, orders for hydrostats have appeared. This direction is becoming important for the region and for the whole country," Viktor Klochai said.
The head of Ruspolimet added that the group's enterprises also fulfilled their planned plans for the first quarter of the year. "I think we have to cope with the tasks that stand for this year," the industrialist summed up.
On the same day, a meeting of the Council of the Nizhny Novgorod Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs was held. The heads of enterprises discussed proposals for new measures to support the industry, which will soon be submitted to the federal level.
