OREANDA-NEWS. Another five new automotive component manufacturers are ready to start in 2015 in the SEZ "Togliatti". One of them – will be launched in April. "We expect that this year “SIE Automotive Rus” will start the production, which will produce cast aluminum parts for engines”, - the General Director of JSC "SEZ "Togliatti", Alex Pakhomenko, informed the agency “AUTOSTAT”. - The production facility is already fully built in the area, it was delivered and installed equipment. In the second quarter of this year it is expected to start the production in this test mode”.

Production buildings are also built by the companies “Edsha Togliatti” (the company will produce door hinges, hood, trunk, door opening stops, hand brake lever), "High-Lex Rus "(cables for control windows) and "Toyota Tsusho Atsumitek Rus" (mechanisms for selecting of manual transmission and automatic transmission). These residents are planning to run the plant in the third quarter. The company "MANN + Hummel Togliatti" (air filters, intake modules) started the construction later, and the start of production here is expected closer to the end of year.

Twelve of the 16 companies-residents SEZ "Togliatti" are the manufacturers of automotive components. One of them - "Nobel Automotive Rusia" (Turkey) has already started the production in August of 2014. Among the produced products there are the fuel lines, flexible cables, frames seats. Among those, who had originally planned to launch manufactures in 2015, only "TPV Rus" (car seats) changed its plans by suspending the work on the site.

"I emphasize especially that almost all component manufacturers, who came to us, are not only the suppliers of the Alliance “Renault-Nissan-AvtoVAZ", - says Mr.Pakhomenko. - They are also suppliers of the major manufacturers in the territory of the Russian Federation. That is, there is some intra-diversification, and we welcome that. Because with the redistribution of sales (if one manufacturer is losing sales for some reasons), our companies, suppliers of automotive components are able to redistribute the package so that they can remain stable and to meet the requirements of production. In addition, among our residents, there are companies that focus not only on the domestic, but also on the European market”.
