Pskov Information Agency: The Ministry of Industry and Trade will help create an engineering center in Pskov region

A modern engineering center will be opened in Pskov region. The Pskov News Agency was informed about this by the press service of the region’s government.

On June 15, at SPIEF 2023, an agreement on the creation of an engineering center in Pskov region was signed by Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, Acting Governor of the Omsk region Vitaliy Khotsenko, Governor of the Pskov region Mikhail Vedernikov and Chairman of the Board of Directors of GC Titan Mikhail Sutyaginsky.

"The implementation of a new investment project to create an engineering center is a great scientific contribution to the development of chemical and petrochemical industry facilities, as well as other sectors of the economy and industry. The engineering center will contribute to the training of high-class specialists in accordance with the changing needs of the industry, as well as to the development and implementation of new knowledge-intensive technologies and materials based on polymer products," said Denis Manturov.

Mikhail Vedernikov emphasized that the agreement had united Pskov and Omsk regions in terms of the chemical industry development.

The head of the region noted that with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Denis Manturov the Titan-Polymer plant, which produces import-substituting BOPET films, had been built. The production line was launched at the end of last year with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 "Now we are launching an investment project to create the engineering center where young specialists will be able to develop and produce new polymer materials. In the future, an entire industrial cluster will be created around the plant, which will create new jobs, strengthen the economy, and promote further development of small and medium-sized businesses. We are aimed at a long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation," summarized Mikhail Vedernikov.

Mikhail Sutyaginsky, in his turn, emphasized that the engineering center would become a platform for training new employees, developing new samples of films.
“We are going to cooperate with leading universities of the Russian Federation, including Pskov State University, of course. It's a base that's essential. After all, local staff is the most reliable thing that is considered when operating a production facility,” he noted.

The engineering center will make it possible to create conditions for better social and economic development and scientific potential of Pskov and Omsk regions. Another objective is to help implementing science and technical and innovative policy as well as scientific analysis and research related to the manufacturing of new products based on various modern polymer materials.

The project will solve a number of import-substituting tasks. The center is aimed at introducing the latest scientific and domestic solutions into production, training high quality specialists primarily for the chemical, petrochemical industry.

Pskov plant “Titan-Polymer” is one of anchor residents of Moglino SEZ. The complex for creation of import-substituting and export-oriented production of biaxial-oriented BOPET films and polyester (PET pellets) operates at Moglino SEZ.

The strategically important project will create a base of polyester raw materials and ensure import substitution of a large range of products, including medical and special purpose.
BOPET film production capacity - up to 72 thousand tons per year, PET pellets - up to 210 thousand tons.
