On March 26, 2019, Naberezhnye Chelny saw the opening of a Brandsteel metal processing service centre for EPS (Eco Pickled Surface) metal cleaning using hi-tech equipment. This centre launched by Kama-Trade Tatarstan is a resident of the Naberezhnye Chelny Priority Social and Economic Development Area. The main metal supplier is the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works.
The EPS line is represented by compact, silent, eco-friendly, and automatically controlled equipment. The implemented process line is unique both in Russia and in Europe. Such lines are only operated in such countries as the USA, Mexico, Korea, and China.
“The services of the metalworking centre are of prime interest for automotive enterprises of Russia and Belarus, for example, GAZ Group, MAZ, KAMAZ and others,” said Ilya Davydov, Director General of Accuride Wheels Russia.
