Without Western units: Russia begins mass production of machine tools
A meeting was held in Kovrov, Vladimir Region, at which the issue of increasing the output of civilian products by the factories of the military-industrial complex was discussed. In particular, we are talking about creating a high-tech machine tool cluster at one of the leading enterprises in the city - the Kovrov Electromechanical Plant (KEMZ). The project cost is estimated at approximately half a billion rubles.
At present, at KEMZ (which, incidentally, will be 120 years old), one of the priority areas is the manufacture of the latest domestic machines, which should replace those imported from Western countries. Previously, this enterprise was mainly engaged in military orders, but now it is diversifying. The share of civilian products is increasing - and the rich experience of factory workers in its production is very in demand. In particular, modern road construction is being produced. technique.
The plant was visited by a delegation of deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, headed by its speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, together with the leadership of the state corporation Rostec. The parliamentarians expressed their intention to assist in overcoming the barriers associated with legislation when it comes to the production of civilian products by defense enterprises. Volodin noted that the task of diversification was set by the head of state. By solving this problem, he said, high-tech jobs should be created.
This enterprise was not accidentally chosen as the venue for such a meeting, since a third of its products are for civilian use. These are tractors, machine tools, loaders. Another workshop will be built - for machining. At the construction site, equipment manufactured at the same factory is involved.
Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov during the meeting noted that so far the concept of diversification is not in the law. He proposed to fix this concept in federal law.
- emphasized Chemezov.
It is assumed that the enterprises of the Vladimir region will produce “peaceful” products without any damage to defense orders. Moreover, these products should be precisely high-tech so that they are in the same demand in the world as Russian weapons.

It is obvious that without its own machine tool industry, which meets modern requirements, neither import substitution nor the creation of new technological manufactures is possible. This is the core industry. economics, which provides opportunities for the development of other industries
