I can say that as a transit region, we see the logistics sector as one of the key development vectors for the medium and long term.

We are starting with the development of internal logistics, and today we are launching the first complex in the Solnechny logopark to meet the needs of the X5 Group Pyaterochka retail chain. It turned out to be a decent object.

More than 250 jobs with decent wages have been created. For our part, we are helping to implement the project.:  They provided land plots and allocated funds from an infrastructure budget loan for the creation of engineering infrastructure.  Thanks to the President's decisions, we are helping to provide the logopark as a whole with communications, and now we are establishing a property tax benefit. Our goal is to fully provide logistics for the needs within the region in three years, then we will begin to develop our cross-border logistics potential so that goods from us are distributed to other regions.  We want our producers to be able to fill not only Omsk counters with their products, but also to supply them through the X5 Group retail network to the whole country," said Vitaly Khotsenko.

There are more than 200 stores of this retail chain in the Omsk region, including 150 in the regional center. Previously, goods were imported to Omsk Pyaterochka from the distribution centers of Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Tyumen, and now from the Omsk distribution center, which already serves 290 suppliers of products of the Pyaterochka retail chain.

According to Yulia Tyuleneva, Executive Director of the Vostok X5 Group, the opening of this facility is a landmark event, and not only for the company, since the tasks of not only this business are being solved.

"The opening of such an infrastructure implies a platform of opportunities for our partners and for our local manufacturers.  We have 32% of products on our store shelves from Siberian manufacturers, and we understand that this is not the limit.  Many positions of Omsk manufacturers and our partners occupy top sales positions. This means that the quality is excellent, and the products resonate with the customer.  We can be proud of this, and we want our new distribution center to become the gathering point for all manufacturers, which will optimize logistics costs, including for themselves. We do not stop there in our development: we have big plans to increase our presence in the region," said the representative of X5 Group.
