2023: Investment of 20 billion rubles
On February 15, 2023, it became known about investing 20 billion rubles in the production of fiber in Saransk. We are talking about the portfolio company of the state corporation Rusnano - JSC Optical Fiber Systems.
Deputy Prime Minister - Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov spoke about investments in Optical Fiber Systems during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the government. According to Manturov, the investment project consists of two stages:
- on the first - for the transition to the full cycle of fiber production, it is planned to build a plant for the production of blanks (glass preforms) for existing production;
- on the second - "in the presence of appropriate demand" it is planned to expand the capacity of existing production to 10 million km of fiber optic per year from 4 million km by mid-February 2023.
The implementation of this project, according to the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, will satisfy not only all the needs of Russian telecom operators in fiber, but also the EAEU countries. He added that the Saransk plant, which by February 2023 is the only fiber producer in the Russian Federation, covers almost half of the need for fiber for Russian telecom operators.
Manturov noted that given the complexity and low margin of the fiber niche, special financing conditions are needed. Thus, the Deputy Prime Minister considers it necessary to support "ВЭБ.РФ" in the implementation of the project, which is an initiative of national importance. In addition, within the framework of the investment platform, the parameters of capital grants for such low-margin projects are now being coordinated. In particular, it is proposed to compensate the investor up to 25% of the loan.
 | We would like to enlist, Vladimir Vladimirovich, your support in implementing such an approach to this project. It is very important for the telecommunications sector, taking into account the plans for the Digital Economy national program and expanding the coverage of high-speed data transmission, "Manturov addressed the president. |  |
2019
Optical Fiber Systems advocated mandatory certification of fiber
On June 25, 2019, information appeared that the company Optical Fiber Systems was forced the Chinese to compete with manufacturers whose marriage share reaches 30% (Sumitomo Russian the enterprise's pro-forms have a quality percentage of 90-95%). This was CNews announced by the general director of Optical Fiber Systems. Andrei Nikolaev At the same time, from the Saransk plant as a newcomer to the market, customers require various procedures for confirming the compliance of products, while there are no such requirements for Chinese suppliers. The introduction of mandatory certification of fiber-optic products would eliminate these inconsistencies, according to Optical Fiber Systems. Read more here.

2018
Reaching full capacity utilization
On September 25, 2018, the Optical Fiber Systems company announced the release of a three million kilometer of domestic optical fiber. According to the company, the anniversary coil of optical fiber was awarded to the Head of the Republic of MordoviyaVladimir Volkov.
As of September 2018, Optical Fiber Systems JSC is gradually increasing the pace of its production: if it took the plant 1.5 years to produce the first million kilometers of fiber, 1 year to produce the second, then it took the company only 6 months to produce the third million.
It was also reported that Vladimir Volkov visited a specially organized exhibition dedicated to the achievements of Optical Fiber Systems JSC. The ceremony of presenting the coil was marked by the laying of a "time capsule" for the working team of JSC "Optical Fiber Systems" in 2025, when the plant will celebrate its 10th anniversary. One of the wishes of the "team from the future" is to enter the production of 10 million km of optical fiber per year and master the full production cycle.
After the ceremony, a meeting was held with the participation of the Head of the Republic of Mordovia Vladimir Volkov, members of the Board of Directors of Optical Fiber Systems JSC, foreign partners Rosendahl Nextrom and Sumitomo Electric Industries, dedicated to current problems and prospects for the development of the project.
