Construction of an electronics plant for billions of rubles

In early June 2024, it became known that the Rutek company, owned by former Minister of Communications Leonid Reiman, intends to build a new electronics plant. Investments in the project are estimated at "several billion rubles."

The Vedomosti newspaper told about the initiative. The enterprise will be located on the territory of the Sistema special economic zone (SEZ) in Saransk (Republic of Mordovia). The plant will be engaged in the production of civilian equipment "with deep localization." We are talking, in particular, about smartphones, personal computers, tablets, laptops, telephone exchanges, etc. Rutek CEO Dmitry Ivannikov noted that the enterprise's capacity will make it possible to produce "hundreds of thousands of devices a year."

At the new plant, as noted, the assembly of the R-background smartphone with the Rosa operating system based on Linux can be organized. According to Ivannikov, the company plans to increase the degree of localization of this device, but what kind of technological operations and components are in question is not specified. At the same time, the general director of Rutek emphasizes that in Russia as of mid-2024 there are difficulties with the production of components for electronics.

It is noted that residents of the SEZ in Mordovia from September 2023 receive tax benefits. Thus, the income tax rate for five tax periods is 0%, from the sixth to the tenth periods - 2%, and then - 13.5%. The founder of Content Review, Sergei Polovnikov, believes that the indicated amount of "several billion rubles" for the creation of an enterprise is a startup investment. In his opinion, such investments "will be enough to buy land, build a hangar and hire staff for screwdriver assembly." For the full construction of the workshop and surface installation lines, additional investments will be required.^[1]

By November 2020, the selection of the site for the production complex is being completed, and the issue of buying a number of assets already existing on the market is being considered.

The main activities of the enterprise will be the development and production of telecommunication equipment and computer equipment, including civil radio communication systems, video surveillance and security systems, data storage systems, as well as contract production.

The managing company of the civil complex was Rutek JSC, headed by Andrei Bezrukov, who was previously engaged in business development at the GS Group holding. According to him, first of all, the company will focus on the development and production of solutions that meet the requirements of legislation on Russian products and critical information infrastructure.

It is expected that thanks to this approach, Rutek can become a leading supplier of Russian hardware and software platforms, including using the Russian operating system ROSA Linux. The developer of this OS is another asset of Leonid Reiman - STC IT ROSA LLC.

We believe in the Russian market and expect to quickly expand our share in it thanks to our own development team, as well as through the purchase of promising assets, stated Bezrukov

The desire to create high-quality domestic products worthy of an alternative to import solutions is a responsible position of business in a difficult situation of economic sanctions. We laid this idea at the heart of the project and plan, during its implementation, not only to create our own products in Russia, but also to stimulate the development of the entire electronics industry, attracting Russian component manufacturers to cooperate, commented Leonid Reiman.
