From biosilver to bulletproof vests: leading Siberian companies awarded Made in Russia certificates

Several Siberian enterprises have received Made in Russia certificates from Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF Group), confirming the high quality and reliability of domestic products.

The Novosibirsk-based research and production center Vector-Vita has been operating in the market since 2005. Specializing in biosilver-based products, the company received the Made in Russia certificate for its flagship food raw material, Argovit-S. This cluster silver solution, along with gels and powders, is exported to the CIS and Latin America, particularly Mexico, for the production of veterinary drugs. Company's scientific foundation and continuous R&D enable it to compete internationally. Initially, the company faced a shortage of foreign trade expertise. Educational courses on My Export platform served as a solution. The company plans to expand into Southeast Asian markets, where the certificate will serve as an additional marketing asset.

Alongside biotechnology, leaders in the IT sector are also upholding their high-quality standards. Two entities within the Infomatics Group have received Made in Russia certificates. TopMedia LLC was awarded the certificate in the reliability category. Infomatics LLC was awarded the certificate in the uniqueness category for its hardware and software system designed for public transportation. The developer positions its multi-service platform as a tool for ensuring technological independence in the industry. Infomatics Group is currently exploring expansion into international markets through the technology transfer model, particularly in India. Government support is helping the company systematically develop its export business: through participation in international exhibitions with the support of Russian Export Center (REC), the company has attracted the attention of foreign partners.

Quality and technological independence are also a pressing issue in the field of special equipment. Arkhangel-M modular body armor from the Novosibirsk company Fillin, actively used during the Special Military Operation, also received the Made in Russia certificate. The certificate confirmed that this armor system is entirely manufactured in Novosibirsk—from the ballistic packages to the innovative armor panels. Design solutions such as the VANT suspension plate mounting system and MOLLE-perforation technology have resulted in a product that surpasses many international standards in terms of protection coverage, comfort, and weight. The fact that the product has successfully undergone testing under the harshest operating conditions by special forces of the ROSN UFSB and the National Guard makes it a benchmark for reliability in its segment.

In the Novosibirsk region, 83 companies have already officially confirmed their status as reliable suppliers under the national brand, including Novosibirskkhleboprodukt, Khimtsentr, and Vakio. Tomsk region is also showing strong growth, with 36 enterprises holding certificates. Among them are such leaders in the agricultural and industrial sectors as Tomsk Mills, Sibagropribor, Kozhevnikovo Brewery, Novokhim, Kakheti, Eskimos, and Biolit.

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 inspections by Russian Export Center. The certificate is awarded based on five key criteria: quality, reliability, uniqueness, environmental friendliness, and organic origin.
