Looking through metal: how Omsk region can provide Russian industry with "X-ray vision"

Omsk Region offers businesses to implement a strategically important high-tech project and is looking for an investor to create an industrial X-ray film production. This project, which is necessary to ensure the security of the country's strategic facilities, is at the pre—investment stage - the region is ready to provide the site, benefits and full administrative support to the future partner.

The head of the region, Vitaliy Khotsenko, sets a key task for the government — systematic capital raising and improvement of the investment climate. Work with the future X-ray film manufacturer will be conducted in a "one-stop shop" mode.  The team of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency takes on the entire administrative burden, freeing the entrepreneur from solving production tasks. 

Today, the Russian industry is critically dependent on the import of sensitive materials. Without a special X-ray film, it is impossible to check the welding quality of main gas pipelines, the reliability of aircraft engine parts, or the strength of fittings in the foundations of high-rise buildings. Omsk region has all the necessary resources to launch such production: a powerful raw material base of the petrochemical cluster, specialized universities that produce chemical technologists, and a unique geographical location at the intersection of trade routes.

Investment parameters of the project: financial investments - 610 million rubles with a payback period of 10 years, a capacity of 400 tons of finished products per year. The new production facility will create 25 highly qualified jobs. 

An attractive support package is provided for the partner who will undertake this task. The Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency has already selected a ready-made land plot with an area of more than 4 hectares. All necessary communications are connected to the site — electricity, gas and water. The investor will be granted the status of a large-scale investment project, which gives the right to lease land without bidding. On the territory of the Avangard SEZ, the company will receive zero tax rates on property, land and transport for up to 10 years, as well as a preferential income tax rate of 5% in the first years of operation. In addition, subsidies are provided to reimburse up to 90% of the cost of purchasing expensive equipment and joint concessional loans from the Industrial Development Fund at 3-5% per annum.

"The Siberian region has a powerful industrial potential, but for its safe development we need our own quality control of materials. We don't just offer an idea, we give the investor a ready—made roadmap, selected land and financial instruments for a quick start.",
