POZIS (part of the Tecmash Concern under the Rostec Corporation) has doubled the production of exclusive recirculators with artistic painting compared to the same period last year.

For more than 20 years, the company has operated the POZIS art painting workshop, where refrigerators and recirculators are manually painted. The company’s artists create real works of art, using viewports instead of easels, on the refrigeration equipment that become a true decoration of interiors.

All painting of household appliances is carried out under a special technology using environmentally friendly paints and materials that remain resistant and do not fade during the entire service life of the device. Artists use both classical and folk motifs in their themes. The most successful in terms of design are refrigeration appliances inlaid with Swarovski crystals.

Exclusive equipment is purchased by both dealers (including foreign partners) and individuals. To date, painted POZIS irradiators-recirculators are in great demand.

When creating new models of refrigeration devices and high-tech medical refrigeration equipment, POZIS focuses not only on high quality, efficiency, and reliability, but also on the individuality of products, which is one of the advantages in the household appliances market.

This was announced today by Nail Zalakov, First Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of Tatarstan, at a press conference in Tatar-inform.

Agricultural fairs are traditionally in good demand among townspeople, especially the older generation, and are of great social importance. Citizens will be able to purchase meat, sausage products, draft milk, cheese, butter, eggs, vegetables, honey, sugar, flour, cereals, and other farm products brought from the municipal districts of Tatarstan at prices below market ones.

Agricultural fairs are a very important support measure for farmers and the public, as farmers have an opportunity to sell their products (places for trade are provided free of charge), and the population can buy everything the freshest and most natural at minimal prices, without trading margins.

Traditionally, the executives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of Tatarstan will personally inspect the fairgrounds in Kazan on Saturday.

Today, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan hosted a briefing meeting on the issues of submitting information on incomes, expenses, property and property-related liabilities for 2020 and filling out the appropriate certificate form.

The meeting was attended by public civil servants included in the list of public civil service positions, who are required to provide information about their incomes, expenditures, property and property-related liabilities, as well as information about incomes and expenditures, property and property-related liabilities of their spouses and minor children.

Venera Khusnutdinova, leading expert at HR department, responsible for prevention of corruption and other offences in the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan, informed the participants on how to fill in the certificate, reviewed methodological recommendations on filling the certificate and answered questions on filling it.

The event was opened by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Albert Karimov.

The Technology Day is a platform for the companies to present their technology innovations and developments directly to the technical experts of LUKOIL’s enterprises. Such meetings help businesses to understand what areas of import substitution are most in demand today, and in which areas it is necessary to improve its production base. Due to the fact that manufacturers of oil service products and R&D centres are located here, Tatarstan is attractive for the company in terms of supplying equipment and technologies.

Republic’s companies made presentations in the following areas: geology, field development, enhanced oil recovery, and well drilling.

Such a format aroused interest from both republic’s companies and enterprises of the LUKOIL Group. As a result, it was decided to hold Technology Days on a regular basis to expand further mutually beneficial cooperation.
