Urals exhibition brings together over 80 Russian, European companies.
YEKATERINBURG, October 19 (Itar-Tass) -- More than 80 Russian and
European companies will present their latest achievements at the
scientific-industrial forum titled 'Technology Overhauling at Machinery
Engineering Enterprises in Russia,' which opens Tuesday in Yekaterinburg,
the administrative center of the heavily industrialized Sverdlovsk region
in central Urals.
Olga Nesterova, a spokeswoman for the organizing committee of the
forum, told Itar-Tass the exposition that will be deployed at one of the
city's fairgrounds is called 'The Machine-Tool Industry: Lasers, Optics
and Nanotechnology'2010.'
The visitors will have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with
the technological solutions offered by manufacturers from Russia, Britain,
the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, and Switzerland.
The biggest of the Russian exhibitors is the Research and
Manufacturing Corporation Uralvagonzavod. Executives at its press service
told Itar-Tass that the streamlining of production of top-notch industrial
instruments and the technological upgrading of the production processes
occupy prominent positions on the list of major challenges currently
facing the Russian toolmaking industry.
"Our corporation's experts will hold a number of meetings with
potential partners to discuss the organization of import-substituting
instrument manufacturing," a spokesman said.
The itinerary of the forum includes a conference where the
participants will focus on the prospects for technological upgrading of
Russian machine-building companies on the basis of laser, optical and
nano-technologies.
Alexander Balandin, the Director General of the Urals-based machinery
manufacturing corporation Pumori-SIZ said in an interview with Itar-Tass a
big divide is evident nowadays between the capabilities of
instrument-making production facilities and the demands of the
machine-building industry.
"We had big instrument-making enterprises here in the Sverdlovsk
region but beginning with the 1990's the manufacturing of machine-tools
fell by dozens of percent," he said. "Only two plants manufacture
instruments here today and that's apparently far from enough."
