The Head of the Chemical Industry Committee of Delovaya Rossiya, the founder of the GC “Titan” Mikhail Sutyaginsky made a business trip to Uzbekistan production enterprises. Following the results of his visit the industrialist determined several lines of Russian chemical industry cooperation with Uzbek one. 

This working trip took place within the visit to the exhibition “INNOPROM. Great industrial week”, which is being held in Tashkent from April 5 to 7.

Nowadays Uzbekistan is moving toward economy liberalization, preferences for investors have been introduced here, import restrictions have been lifted, duties and taxes have been reduced. The country with significant raw stock offers not only localization of foreign production facilities, but also organization of raw materials deep conversion based on clusters. The share of industrial products in the republic's GDP increased by 10% for four years, and the volume of chemical industry production grew threefold. All this attracts foreign capital here. 

The Group of companies “Titan” exports synthetic rubber to this Central Asian country for mechanical rubber goods production. The company is also ready to supply acetone, which is used for acetate fiber production. In future, there may be even more cooperation variants.

“Uzbekistan is engaged in deep cotton conversion using ingredients based on isopropyl alcohol, and in Omsk we get the highest quality alcohol of 99.99%, which can increase competitive advantage of cotton products,” Mikhail Sutyaginsky noted following the results of the visit. “We are also working over the variant of PET pellets supplying here from our future production facility in Pskov for polyester fiber manufacturing. In general, I see at least six aspects of mutually profitable supplies, including within cluster model and organization of deeper redistributions, which will give the possibility of development of low-tonnage chemical production”.
