2017: Road Map of Recovery of Tractor Plants Concern

A working group consisting of representatives of Rostec, Vnesheconombank, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Labor and regional executive bodies prepared a roadmap for the improvement of the Concern Tractor Plants in the fall of 2017. Representatives of the working group visited one of the production sites of KTZ - Vladimir Motor-Tractor Plant.

The purpose of the visit to the production site in the city of Vladimir was to familiarize themselves with the current state of production and hold a working meeting with representatives of the plant.

"VMTZ is in extremely serious condition: due to debts, production has been stopped, there is an ineffective use of space for a long time, the company has about 400 employees, while production is extremely low. The property complex of the enterprise belongs to another legal entity against which the bankruptcy procedure has been introduced. There were cases of blocking the enterprise, while employees could not get to workplaces. The total amount of accounts payable as of September 30, 2017 amounted to about 800 million rubles. In the near future, Rostec will propose concrete steps to optimize production and preserve jobs, "said Sergey Abramov, industrial director of the armament cluster of the State Corporation Rostec

The volume of accumulated financial liabilities of KTZ Group enterprises exceeds 85 billion rubles. Since the end of October 2017, Vnesheconombank has been conducting bankruptcy proceedings, implementing the "default strategy" approved by the Bank's Supervisory Board in relation to a number of KTZ assets as the only way to overcome the crisis and begin improving production.

To improve KTZ enterprises, a working group has been created, which includes representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Labor, Rostec, VEB and regional executive bodies. Rostec, as part of the working group, began implementing measures to improve KTZ enterprises.

During the bankruptcy procedure, the necessary measures will be taken at all KTZ production sites to prevent production stops or failures, as well as to preserve the production cycle of the Concern's enterprises and preserve the range of products, including in the civil segment. At the same time, initiatives will be implemented to optimize production, measures are also being taken to preserve jobs and pay employees.

2016: KTZ Military Division moves to Rostec

The state corporation Rostec will receive by the end of 2017 the military division of the Tractor Plants concern. The corporation will become the sole owner of these enterprises.

Rostec is preparing to receive the Kurganmashzavod, the Lipetsk plant of tracked tractors, the Volgograd machine-building company VgTZ, the Trans-Ural forge-foundry, the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (SKBM). Rostec does not claim other enterprises of the Tractor Plants concern.

"Rostec did not initiate the receipt of the Tractor Plants concern, and the Corporation does not plan to give a guarantee on its loans. KTZ enterprises should be transferred to Vnesheconombank to pay off debts. Vnesheconombank, in turn, will transfer the enterprises to the state. After that, Rostec is ready to take them under its control. It is premature to talk about the creation of a separate holding, "said Sergey Chemezov, General Director of Rostec State Corporation.

Kurganmashzavod is the only enterprise in Russia that produces infantry fighting vehicles. Lipetsk Tracked Tractor Plant is the main manufacturer of modernized self-propelled tracked tractors for anti-aircraft missile systems S-300V and S-300VM.
