29 November 2007 a seminar “Thinking of expanding your business in Russia?” took place at EBRD headquarters in London. The seminar was organized in order to introduce the specifics of investing on Russian market, what kind of problems the companies are facing, and what are the opportunities, offered by Russian market. The project “Tehnopark Vyazniki”, offering full support in construction of production facilities in Russia, was presented as an answer to the above stated question.

Mr. Veretennikov, vice governor of the Vladimir region administration presented his region - the potential it is offering in the field of economics. To the west it borders directly on the Moscow region and thus offers a great potential for doing business in bigger cities, as well as in regions. It is one of the most economically developed and dynamically evolving regions of central Russia. The leading industries of this region’s economy are food, home appliance, metalworking, electricity generation and porcelain. The region is both, economically and politically stable, offering great industrial potential, as well as highly qualified workforce. As a matter of fact, this region ranks third among regions in the central district of Russia attracting foreign capital. That is why some well-known foreign brands, such as Kraft, Wienerberger, Saint Gobain, Trimo etc., have established production facilities here. The logistical infrastructure of the region is well developed, too. The main federal highway (M7 “Volga”) and railway are running throughout the region, leading east and connecting Moscow with bigger cities Nizhny Novogorod, Kazan and Ufa. These are some of the advantages that make the Vladimir region a competitive alternative to the Moscow region.

Mr. Kočan, general manager of “Tehnopark Vyazniki” presented the project, called “Tehnopark Vyazniki”. Tehnopark Vyazniki is an industrial park, rising in the outskirts of Vyazniki, the town in Vladimir region, presenting a joint initiative between the administration of Vladimir region and the company Trimo. The plot is located along the federal highway and railway, offering 136 hectares of land for industrial purpose. The investors will not gain only the plot, but also all the matters with reference to projecting, construction registration documents, liaison and communication, will be arranged for them and according to their individual needs and wishes. All these issues shall be the responsibility of “Tehnopark Vyazniki” - an enterprise that is in full ownership of Trimo. The industrial park presents an opportunity of “turnkey projects” with support granted by administration authorities. The Tehnopark has all the latest communications and modern infrastructure, such as gas, water, sewage system, electricity and telecommunication links.

Investors in the park will gain optional geographical location, professionally managed facility, construction of buildings on a turnkey basis, which includes designing, arranging permits and construction. As an added incentive, for the first five years of operation, investors shall be disposed from property tax (2,2%) and shall receive 4 to 7% reduction of tax on profit, which in Russia amounts to 24 %. The industrial park Vyazniki is therefore a unique opportunity for potential investors to establish or expand their production or warehouse facilities in Russian Federation, according to their wishes and needs.

Established in 1961 “Trimo d.d.”, is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of construction materials and a producer of prefabricated steel buildings. The company has business operations in over 50 counties, working alongside established brands such as Ikea, Renault and Nestle, Sainsbury, Tesco. Trimo has many years of experience working with the Vladimir region’s administration and also having built its own manufacturing plant in the region, which has been up and running for over 6 years, supplying Russia and the wider area.

With a perfect location, good transport infrastructure, closeness to the larger cities (Moscow, Nizhny Novogorod, Kazan, Ufa…) and being easy of access, as well as taking care of all the planning questions and project management, gaining approvals and building organization, Tehnopark Vyazniki presents a “turnkey project” opportunity for your future factory requirements in Russia. Together with the infrastructure and European business environment, as well as the privileged taxation, this project turns out to be a unique business opportunity for you.

On the presentation the principal of Savant, a leading consultant company in Russia presented their point of view on a Greenfield investment in Russia. According to his words the construction of such investment in Russia is time consuming and straining process which takes from search for suitable land plot, due diligence, design stage to construction itself all together from 2,5 to 3 years.
