2023: System Electric plan to invest RUB 150 mln in production expansion

On March 17, 2023, System Electric announced that it intends to invest 150 million rubles in expanding production and deepening the localization of the ElectroMonoblock plant (SEZEM).

The ElectroMonoblock plant is actively developing import substitution programs, "said Dmitry Yalov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Leningrad Region, Chairman of the Committee for Economic Development and Investment Activities. - The company employs highly qualified specialists, and we are interested in increasing the number of such jobs. The administration of the Leningrad Region plans to provide all possible support measures to increase production.

2022 was a period of transformation for System Electric, we became a completely Russian production company. It is important to emphasize that we have retained key assets, the team and continue the course towards import substitution. In 2022, at the SEZEM plant, we created conditions for further expansion of localization. By mid-2024, we plan to produce most of the components for the production of RME GIS independently in Kommunar or work with suppliers from the Russian Federation, - said Alexey Kashaev.

Sergei Sokolov, General Director of SEZEM LLC, said that as of March 2023, more than 85,000 complete switchgears manufactured in Kommunar are installed and operate throughout the Russian Federation. In 2022, the company created an assembly line for the production of medium-voltage switchgears - cells of complete switchgears (switchgears) - and one-way prefabricated service chambers (CSR), modernized and automated the secondary circuit testing area. Together, these measures make the production process more efficient.

Representatives of the company drew the attention of the regional leadership to the possibility of the SEZEM plant to become one of the flagship enterprises in the region for the localization and import substitution of electrical products, thanks to close cooperation with the Mechanotronika Scientific and Technical Center (St. Petersburg, part of the System Electric Group of Companies). Due to the availability of up-to-date production equipment, the plant is a testing center for the development of the Mechanotronics research and development center. SEZEM products are used in the implementation of large-scale projects for energy facilities of civil and industrial infrastructure, power supply lines, and data processing centers. Further expansion of the plant's competencies will create new jobs and increase tax revenues to budgets of all levels.

2019: Opening of a production line in Leningrad Oblast

Schneider Electric, the world leader in energy management and automation, has announced the opening of a production line of low-voltage switches at its own enterprise in the Leningrad Region, the factory of Schneider Electric Plant Electroblock LLC (hereinafter - SHEZEM).

SHEZEM will produce all the most popular lines of circuit breakers on the Russian market: Compact NSX, Compact NSb, Masterpact NT/NW EasyPact CVS/MVS and the latest generation device, Masterpact MTZ. The initiative was implemented as part of Schneider Electric's long-term development strategy in Russia.

The technical and operational characteristics of localized equipment fully comply with all strict Schneider Electric quality standards. All warranty and service obligations, as well as commercial conditions for the purchase of products, remained unchanged with a significant reduction in delivery time.

Russia is a strategically important market for Schneider Electric, which is confirmed by our investments in further expansion of production. This gives us the opportunity to be closer to the customer. All Schneider Electric productions in the world adhere to strict quality standards. We are confident that this will make the application of our technologies even more effective for our partners and customers. 'Johan Vanderplaetse, President of Schneider Electric in Russia and CIS '

In addition to expanding production, Schneider Electric introduced an incoming inspection procedure for components. In addition, SDS Intergazsert industry certificates were obtained for Compact NSX, Compact NSb, Masterpact NT/NW/MTZ circuit breakers manufactured by SHEZZEM, which makes it possible to use solutions in the oil and gas sector.
