In 2017, the Cordiant company continues to implement an investment program for the technical re-equipment of the production of passenger tires at the Omsk plant of JSC Cordiant-Vostok. More than 1.5 billion rubles will be allocated for the modernization and updating of equipment. In accordance with the assortment policy of the parent company, the purchase of high-tech equipment, modernization and unification of existing equipment will be carried out.

The project work plan is designed until 2021 and is divided into stages, each of which involves serious financial investments. Thus, the first stage of modernization, planned for the current year, will cost the company 250 million rubles. These funds will be used to purchase modern automatic hydraulic presses, which will be installed instead of the existing vulcanizer formers. The new hydraulic presses will significantly reduce the use of manual labor, reduce downtime and improve product quality.
