PRODUCTION OF LIFTS TO BE LAUNCHED AT FREE PORT VLADIVOSTOK

OOO Vladivostoksky Liftovy Zavod signs an agreement with AO Far East Development Corporation on doing business on the territory of Free Port Vladivostok, informs Parliamentary Far East Gazette.

They will soon start assembling hi-tech passenger and freight lift for civil and commercial residential buildings. The company aims to produce both business-class and budget-class lifts equal in quality to advanced analogues made abroad.

“Meanwhile, as in many other regions of Russia, every second lift in the Primorsky Region has already been in service for 25 years and needs to be replaced. This is a matter of people’s safety, so launching lift production in Russia is extremely relevant. Our plant will be equipped at a state-of-the-art level; furthermore we’ll erect a 30-metre testing shaft tower for two lifts, the only one in Russia’s Far East”, said Managing Director of OOO Vladivostoksky Liftovy Zavod Evgeny Nechay.

By 2025, the company plans to put out 1,000 lifts a year and to create 47 new jobs. Total investment is estimated at RUB 77 m.
