Opening of industrial equipment center

On May 17, 2023, a technological center for industrial equipment from Machindex was opened in the capital. The center is located on a large area of ​ ​ 2000 sq.m.

The event at the Center featured CNC lathe and milling group machines laser , cutting machines, erosion and forging and press equipment. All samples were imported from, China cooperation with which was established for active import substitution brands that left the market. The equipment is characterized by high accuracy, high-quality components and excellent ergonomics. All this will allow it to be used in various segments of the civil industry, such as automotive industry aircraft engineering, medical industry etc.

The turnover of products presented in our center is regulated exclusively by Chinese and Russian laws, which makes it possible not to depend on Western sanctions on equipment. All equipment was created at Chinese enterprises, and the combination of our technical competencies and many years of experience of our employees allows us to establish fruitful cooperation beneficial to both parties, "added Sergey Kultiyasov, Operating Director of the company.

Machindex is actively developing a cutting tool and tooling distribution system. To do this, all supply chains have been revised and new product inventory management schemes have been developed. Such equipment can be equipped with domestic industrial enterprises of civil engineering, startups and other companies in need of technological production.

Creating a Company

In early April 2023, it became known about the opening of the MachIndex lathe and milling machine shop in Moscow. This is an Inventor Retail Group project (IRG, part of Philip Gens's LANIT Group of Companies).

Due to the wide needs of import substitution and the withdrawal from the market of the main suppliers of metalworking equipment, we saw an appropriate business opportunity and are creating a company that will fill this vacuum in full compliance with Russian and international legislation, IRG said.

The group called Machindex a "startup" that will not be part of the Inventive management structure. The company will supply equipment produced in friendly countries (at the first stage - from China) and intended for machine-building companies of small and medium-sized businesses, the press service added.

Earlier, IRG published HeadHunter a service engineer with experience Siemens with German and Heidenhain CNC systems for a vacancy, discovered "." Kommersant Industry representatives interviewed by the publication believe that the search for a specialist with commissioning experience means that the company will deal not only with small business machines, but also with equipment for industrial production.

According to Dmitry Gromov, brand manager of Metalworking at ITA Technology, the desktop machine market is oversaturated with low-quality products from China, and will decline as the purchasing power of Russians has decreased.

Now, when incomes are falling, fewer people are ready to spend on hobby machines and home use, - says the speaker (the newspaper quotes his words on April 3, 2023).

He believes that it is difficult for new companies to enter the segment, but admits that the market is "sufficiently capacious for the emergence of large intermediaries and project sales specialists."^[1]
