2025: ₽1 Billion Plant Launch for Geosynthetic Materials for Construction
The resident of the special economic zone "Lotus" in the Astrakhan region - the plant "Hexa-Lotus" - invested about ₽1 billion in the development of the production of geosynthetic materials. The enterprise already has two production stages, the launch of serial production in the third stage is scheduled for February 2026. This was announced by the governor of the Astrakhan region in his telegram channel in December 2025.
Modern automated production of geosynthetic materials is designed to produce up to 4.8 thousand tons of products per year. Certain types of products have no analogues in Russia. The plant has created 162 jobs. At the time of publication, the plant was loaded at 50% of the maximum design capacity.
At the third stage, they will produce products that are intended primarily for agricultural producers. Shading nets will protect the crop from the scorching sun. The Minister of Industry, Trade and power of the Astrakhan Region Ilya Volynsky noted that this type of product is especially important for the Astrakhan Region as for the agricultural region.
The construction of the new workshop has already been completed. Insulation and electrical installation work is underway, as well as the improvement of the adjacent territory. Shading networks are a new product for the enterprise that will expand the range of products and increase sales markets.
The Industrial Development Fund of the Astrakhan Region helps to increase the capacity of the enterprise by providing preferential financing. In 2022, the company received a fund loan for the construction of the third stage of the plant. In 2023, the company received the first joint loan in the region with the federal Industrial Development Fund on co-financing terms in the amount of ₽150 million for the purchase of equipment.
The expansion of production became possible with the active support of regional and federal development institutions. The co-financing mechanism allowed the company to raise funds on preferential terms for technical re-equipment. This made it possible to purchase modern equipment for the production of geosynthetic materials.[1]
