2022: Creation of a company for the production of batteries

Former Communications Minister Leonid Reiman in March 2022 established the Fab company, whose main activity is "the production of batteries and electric batteries." The new legal entity is registered in Zelenograd, writes Kommersant, citing data from the SPARK-Interfax system.

The general director of Fab is Oleg Lobanov, who until April 14, 2021 he held the head of NPO Digital Television Systems JSC (part of the GS Group, produces set-top boxes and other consumer electronics).

A source familiar with the details of the project says that Leonid Reiman wants to build an enterprise for the production of lithium-ion batteries for consumer electronics, including smartphones, laptops, etc. The ex-minister himself declined to comment at the request of the newspaper.

According to one of the interlocutors of the publication, the launch of the plant at the first stage may cost 3-4 billion rubles, but it will be problematic. First of all, due to the lack of specialists in Russia capable of supplying such production, as well as difficulties associated with the import of equipment into the country, he explained.

According to the top manager of the Russian electronics manufacturer, the launch of the enterprise will require 5 billion rubles. He adds that batteries may be of interest to domestic electronics manufacturers, including because of the recently introduced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the point system for determining the domesticity of electronics.

By the end of October 2022, foreign products on the Russian battery market occupy up to 94%, says Igor Kalganov, General Director of T1 Group. The interlocutors of the publication add that the market for uninterruptible power supplies and batteries in the Russian Federation is estimated at $360 million, and about 30-40% of the market was vacated after the departure of foreign manufacturers.^[1]
