The "Exporters of the Year" in the Siberian Federal District have been identified

Three Omsk companies entered the district stage: Omskvinprom LLC, DEEP Service LLC and Sladonezh LLC.

The Unified District Competition Commission of the All-Russian Exporter of the Year Award has identified 9 winners in the Siberian Federal District. According to the decision of the commission, consisting of representatives of federal ministries, Russian Export Center JSC and business associations, both small and medium-sized businesses and large industrial enterprises became winners.

The prize is awarded to organizations and individual entrepreneurs who have achieved the greatest success in exporting non-primary non-energy goods, works, services, as well as the results of intellectual activity.

"The results of the district stage of the award show that, despite the global decline in trade due to the pandemic, many local enterprises have been able to adapt to the new realities and are showing successful results in foreign markets. Even in the difficult current year, Siberian exporting companies have increased the number of partner countries. Another positive trend is the desire of businesses to invest in the development of high–value-added industries and the production of highly processed products. Such projects can always count on support within the framework of the national project "International Cooperation and Export," said Vasily Osmakov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.

Thus, DEEP Service and Sladonezh companies competed for prizes in the Trader of the Year nomination in the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises category. Alexandra Lyavrik, Head of the Omsk Region Export Support Center, provided information about the significant successes of these companies in terms of export volume, product range and export geography.

As a result, the confectionery factory "Sladonezh" took the first place in its nomination, and the company "DEEP Service" - the second place, significantly breaking away from rivals from other regions.

The Omskvinprom company was announced in the nomination "Agro-industrial complex" in the category "Large business". Alexey Bazhenov, Head of the Department for International and Interregional Cooperation at the Omsk Region Ministry of Economy, presented the company's successes and results to the district commission. According to the voting results, the company took the third place.

"The winners of the regional competitions will take part in the second federal stage. The award ceremony for the winners of the federal stage will be held in November at the international export forum "Made in Russia". The winners of the Exporter of the Year Award will receive various bonuses from the REC and the General Partner of the Award, Sberbank PJSC. Among them: personal support of negotiations with foreign partners in foreign markets, a bonus tariff for servicing an export contract, registration on a foreign market place, training in an acceleration program based on the Export School in Moscow, as well as a wide range of information support measures for exporters. We congratulate our Omsk companies on their success at the district stage and wish them success at the All-Russian selection," the Export Center shared.

It should be recalled that the Center's activities are carried out within the framework of the implementation in the Omsk region of the national projects "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual entrepreneurial initiative", as well as "International cooperation and export".
