On October 24, 2020, a significant event took place at the Kukmor Felt-Making Factory for company’s current and retired employees and Kukmor residents: a ceremony dedicated to the opening of a plaque in memory of outstanding people whose fates are woven into the history of felt-making industry, the leaders who managed the enterprise at different times since 1867, and the opening of a memorial bust to Shamil Akhmetshin, former Director General of the factory.
Mr. Akhmetshin, who succeeded in preserving the unique production facilities and company’s team, in reconstructing and upgrading the traditional production of felt and products made from it that are practically unparalleled in quality in Russia, made a significant contribution to developing the sector and improving the unique production. Today, the Kukmor Felt-Making Factory is the Russia’s leading manufacturer of felts, felt footwear, products made of natural wool, widely known both in Russia and abroad. The factory is in continuous development: while keeping traditions, it improves the production technology; while introducing fashion trends, it expands the range of products.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan expresses its gratitude to everyone who made the ceremony possible and special thanks to the sculptor, member of the Russian Union of Artists Artur Davydov for the commemorative works performed.
Tatarstan ranked among top ten in the country’s rating for the implementation of the Labour Productivity and Employment Support national project initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Such results were achieved owing to the work of the Tatarstan’s Regional Competence Centre in the Field of Labour Productivity (Centre for Energy-Saving Technologies of Tatarstan under the Tatarstan Cabinet of Ministers). Also, the RCC opened and certified a Process Factory training production site in July this year.
In the Targeted Support for Increasing Labour Productivity at Enterprises project, the rating depends on the main criteria, that include the level of satisfaction with the RCC work, creation of sample streams, compliance with project activities schedule, as well as fulfilment of the plan for completing projects.
According to the results of an independent audit conducted by MAGRAM Market Research in 2020, it was found that the satisfaction of enterprises in Tatarstan with the work of the RCC experts is 92%.
The Tatarstan’s Regional Competence Centre in the Field of Labour Productivity (RCC) is the regional operator of the Labour Productivity and Employment Support national project created in 2017. The mission of the RCC is to form a culture of high productivity and efficiency among the employees of republic’s enterprises.
