2023: Start of Production

On January 19, 2023, it became known about the decision of the Salyutdevais company, which was formerly called SberDevices and was part of Sberbank, to engage in the computer business. Consumer electronics developers have filed declarations of compliance with the line of devices, according to the register data for delivery to the EAEU (Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan).

As Kommersant writes with reference to the data of the Unified Register of Certificates of Conformity, on January 16, 2023, Salyutdevais declared tablets under the Tab brand, and earlier - laptops and personal computers, Centrum servers, SmartRack software and hardware systems and other computing equipment.

Electronics manufacturer Salyutdevais took up computers and servers

According to documents cited by the newspaper, the declared devices are produced in China. For example, tablets are manufactured by Shenzhen iNet Mobile Internet Technology, which, among other things, produced them, as well as Inferit laptops. Among the production sites for new devices, the Moscow address is also indicated, which coincides with the legal address of Salyutdevais.

The company's computers are needed for "own needs" in order to "provide employees with equipment in a timely manner," the press service of Salyutdevais said. The source of the newspaper also said that at the end of 2022 the company delivered several thousand Sberbank tablets - for testing and use in retail branches. However, this, according to the interlocutor, is a step towards supplying devices to the open market in the future.

By the beginning of 2023, there is already an "excess of companies importing equipment under their own brand" on the Russian retail market, but Salyutdevais can use the resources of the country's largest bank for distribution, said Fintech Lab analyst Sergei Vilyanov.^[1]
