The first preferential loan under the Labor Productivity program was approved in the Omsk region

The Federal Fund for Industrial Development and the Omsk plant for the production of film and flexible packaging with a seal "Planet-Center" signed an agreement on the provision of a preferential loan under the Labor Productivity program at 1% per annum.

The total budget of the project is 420 million rubles, of which 173.4 million will be provided by the Industrial Development Fund. The loan funds will be used to expand the existing production of polymer films and flexible printed packaging used in industry and food production.

It should be noted that under this program, preferential loan financing is provided for the implementation of projects aimed at increasing labor productivity at enterprises participating in the national Labor Productivity project. Planeta-Center joined the list of participants in November 2020.

"Thanks to our company's participation in the national project, we were able to take advantage of a 1% preferential loan under the Labor Productivity program from the Industrial Development Fund to purchase modern high-performance equipment. This will allow our company to further increase labor productivity, both in the production of films and flexible packaging, as well as across the enterprise, reduce cost, improve product quality and generally make it more competitive," shared Alexander Trippel, CEO of Planet Center LLC.

With the involvement of the FRP loan, the company will increase the capacity for the production of polyethylene-based polymer films by flat-gel and blow extrusion methods and the number of high-performance jobs.

"All the activities of the national Labor Productivity project are aimed at strengthening the economic condition of enterprises and the stability of the region. First of all, it is the optimization and modernization of work processes. The Regional Center of Competence in the field of labor productivity, established on the basis of the Agency, has already started working with Omsk enterprises," said Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.

In the Omsk Region, Federal and Regional Competence Centers provide assistance to organizations in optimizing production processes within the framework of the national Labor Productivity project.

Heads of Omsk companies interested in optimizing processes and implementing lean manufacturing tools can apply for participation on the productivity portal.RF.
