We serve as a reliable partner for Uzbekistan in establishing strong trade and investment ties in key sectors, including metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and agriculture. The Made in Russia stand today demonstrates innovative developments from across Russia. This is a clear example of Russian businesses' readiness to offer cutting-edge solutions for Central Asia," Nikita Gusakov.

The stand provided developments in the heavy engineering and transport, industrial automation and robotics, building materials and infrastructure solutions, as well as the chemical industry and composite materials.

The heavy engineering and transport includes, in particular, trucks and railway equipment (KAMAZ from Tatarstan, Sinara Transport Machines from Moscow), cranes (NPO Spetskran from Kaliningrad), drilling rigs (Mobilmash from Perm), and all-terrain off-road vehicles (Allianceservice from Krasnoyarsk).

In the field of automation, machine tools, and robotics, manufacturers from Krasnoyarsk (ITS-Sibir) and St. Petersburg (Laser Systems, SmartPackService) presented equipment for metal laser cutting, 3D printing with metal powders, as well as industrial robots and conveyor systems. Moscow-based BaseALT SPO demonstrated industrial software and operating systems.

A significant part of the Made in Russia stand was dedicated to energy and testing equipment. It featured manufacturers of pumping and valve equipment (Temper Rus from Kurgan and SPK Resource from Moscow), high-voltage testing equipment (SKAT Industrial Equipment Plant from Volgograd), circuit breaker and transformer diagnostic systems (Manul from St. Petersburg), and climatic test chambers and microelectronics equipment (OTK from Volgograd).

In the segment of industrial infrastructure and construction, participants from Irkutsk (Intop Pro) and Krasnodar (Promyshlennik) demonstrated industrial flooring solutions and formwork systems. NPF Bastion from St. Petersburg offered equipment for road construction and repair, including bitumen modification units and asphalt mixing plants.

The chemical and polymer materials segment was represented, in particular, by Polyplastic Group (Moscow) offering innovative protective fencing systems made of high-strength polymers, Constanta-2 (Volgograd) offering seals and shut-off valves, and Manro (Samara Region) offering extruders and granulators for polymer processing.

"At the exhibition, we are presenting innovative Polysafe fencing systems for logistics facilities and production sites. They are made of high-strength polymers and, unlike similar systems, are resistant to repeated impact loads, impervious to sunlight, and have a long service life. Their use allows companies to reduce the risk of industrial injuries by up to 80%, preserving property and equipment. Polyplastic Group is the developer of Polysafe systems and the only manufacturer in Russia. The products are used at enterprises across the country, and we have successful implementation experience in Belarus. Thanks to REC support, we are ready to offer our engineering solutions to potential partners in Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries," Iosif Stiblo, Head of Security Engineering Systems, Polyplastic Group.
