2025: Opening of Silica Gel Plant
On June 2, 2024, it became known that the first production of silica gels and silicazoles worth ₽21 billion was launched in Russia in the Nizhny Novgorod region. RusSilika, part of the Titan group, opened a plant on the territory of the Kulibin special economic zone in Dzerzhinsk. The Industrial Development Fund allocated a preferential loan of ₽5 billion to the enterprise for the purchase of production equipment.
Silica gels and silicazoles are used in more than 30 industries, including the medical field. According to RBC, before the opening of this enterprise, silica gel was not produced on an industrial scale in Russia. The plant's products are included by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation in the list of priority projects for the production of low-tonnage and medium-tonnage chemical products.
The new production is designed to replace materials that were previously supplied from European countries. First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government Denis Manturov noted at the opening ceremony that the products have significant export potential. In this regard, a decision has already been made to further expand the production capacity of the enterprise.
Silica gel is actively used in the medical industry due to its ability to effectively adsorb radon atoms and its isotopes. This property makes the material in demand for various medical applications and procedures.
An agreement was concluded between the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region and RusSilika on the protection and promotion of investments. The mechanism of this agreement provides the investor with the opportunity to partially reimburse the costs of creating infrastructure facilities and the costs of credit interest, as well as receive stabilization guarantees.
The agreement fixes for the investor for six years the current levels of taxation, the norms of land and urban planning legislation, the requirements for the operation of real estate objects. This approach ensures the predictability of the investment climate and protects investments from possible changes in regulation.[1]
