Gazprom signs roadmap for interaction with Bashkiria industrial complex

UFA, 16 October 2018. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/. An International Gas Forum ended in St. Petersburg. This year, it broke all records - representatives of about 50 states arrived there. The congress program included speakers from the United States, South America, Europe, and all CIS countries. Russian companies presented their innovations at the specialized exhibition “Import Substitution in the Gas Industry”. The Republic of Bashkortostan was represented by the “Salavatneftemash”, “Salavatsky Catalyst Plant”, “Poligon”, “OZNA”, “Packer” companies, as well as two plants engaged in the manufacture of pipeline fittings. In continuation of many years of fruitful cooperation with PJSC Gazprom, a roadmap for the interaction of the gas company with the industrial complex of the Republic of Bashkortostan was signed.

Earlier in 2014, a roadmap of the “Expanding high-tech products use manufactured by Bashkortostan Republic companies, including import-substituting products to the benefit of PJSC Gazprom” project was approved. During the four years of implementation of the agreement, the gas company acquired regional industrial products and services for a total amount of about 9 billion rubles, of which over two billion - from the beginning of 2018. More than 150 types of republican products are included in the registers of Gazprom-approved technologies and materials. Eleven enterprises are conducting an active operation, with about 20 organizations having a potential to enter the gas market after solving their product certification issues.

The forum also included exhibitions: the 6th International Specialized Exhibition “InGAS Stream 2018 - Innovations in the Gas Industry”, the 5th International Specialized Exhibition “Gas Motor Fuel” and the 12th International Specialized Exhibition of Gas Industry and Technical Equipment “ROS-GAZ-EXPO”.
