February 20, 2026

Russia's leading aluminum wheel manufacturer, SKAD (part of the RUSAL Group), has successfully completed certification by Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF Group) and earned the right to use the Made in Russia quality mark in the reliability category.

LMZ SKAD LLC is the largest manufacturer in Russia and the CIS, with facilities in Krasnoyarsk and Divnogorsk. Over the company's history, it has produced over 55 million wheels, and its sales statistics are impressive: on average, one SKAD wheel is sold every 9 seconds worldwide.

Products are supplied to the assembly lines of leading global automakers represented in Russia and are sold in more than 2,000 stores and service centers throughout the CIS.

The key advantage of SKAD is its uncompromising approach to quality. It is the only factory in Russia that conducts 100% X-ray inspection of its products. Company's advanced manufacturing processes allow it to offer a lifetime structural warranty on SKAD, K&K, and Premium Series wheels, as well as one of the longest paint warranties in the industry (up to 5 years).

The company has been developing export activities for over five years, with the greatest successes in Kazakhstan and Belarus. In 2024, the majority of consumers in the EAEU countries chose SKAD products. Company's immediate plans include expanding its presence in Uzbekistan and other CIS countries.

Russian Export Center (REC) helps the company systematically operate in foreign markets. In 2025, LMZ SKAD actively used My Export digital platform to obtain government support for logistics cost reimbursement. Plant's specialists also regularly utilize REC's consulting services and webinars on the specifics of working in various countries.

"We believe that the Made in Russia mark is a way to strengthen our image as a high-tech and reliable manufacturer. We are confident that this label on our products will become synonymous with a quality guarantee for our customers and will help us expand our brand into new markets in the CIS and beyond," Valeria Dyachenko, Head of Foreign Sales.

For entrepreneurs just considering exporting, SKAD team offers to “Go straight forward!"

As noted by Russian Export Center, the success of the Krasnoyarsk plant proves that Russian technologies in metallurgy and automotive manufacturing are capable of setting global trends and winning the trust of millions of car owners.

The Made in Russia mark confirms the high standards and quality of products developed and manufactured in the Russian Federation. To receive a free Made in Russia certificate, a company does not need to undergo additional checks by Russian Export Center. The certificate is awarded based on five key criteria: quality, reliability, uniqueness, environmental friendliness, and organic origin.
