High-performance equipment is installed in the production, providing all these operations.

In January 2021, an opinion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade was received confirming the production of a model range of LEDs in the Russian Federation. The products are listed in the Register of Russian Industrial Products.

Inclusion in the Register of Russian Industrial Products

The Center for the Development and Production of Microelectronics GS Nanotech (as part of the holding) GS Group received an opinion Ministry of Industry and Trade confirming the production of the model range on the light-emitting diodes territory. RUSSIAN FEDERATION The products are listed in the Product Register the Russian industrial. The holding announced this on January 20, 2021.

Confirmation of the production of GS Nanotech LEDs in the Russian Federation allows our partners to use these components for the production of domestic lamps, which will meet all the requirements for products of Russian origin. We have already reached an agreement on cooperation with several major players in the lighting market and are open for partnership with all industry participants, "said Fedor Boyarkov, Production Development Director of GS Group Holding.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 878 * of 10.07.2019 established priority for products included in the unified register of industrial products produced in the territory of the Russian Federation, when purchased by the state and state-owned companies. So, at tenders for state needs, the rule "third extra" is applied: if at least two applications are submitted with goods included in the register, then all foreign applications are subject to rejection. In tenders of public legal entities, Russian electronic products have a 30% preference: if the price for the supply of this product is higher than foreign, but within 30%, then domestic radio electronics wins. In June 2020, amendments to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 17, 2015 No. 719 "On Confirmation of the Production of Industrial Products on the Territory of the Russian Federation" came into force, according to which, in order to classify the lamp as a domestic product, it is necessary that it contain domestic LEDs.

The register of industrial products produced in the Russian Federation includes as of January 2021 9 models of LEDs in three main types of cases: diodes of types 2835. 3030 and 5050, which together make up more than 90% of the Russian lighting market.

GS Nanotech completed the prototype LED phase in November 2020. In the 1 quarter of 2021, it is planned to supply equipment, commissioning and work out processes related to the launch of large-scale production. In the 2nd-3rd quarters of 2021, the company plans to reach capacity of up to 145 million units per year. By this time, the GS Group holding plans to invest more than 300 million rubles in production. The project is being implemented on the basis of the existing microelectronic capacities of GS Nanotech (including 700 sq.m of clean rooms of class 7, which have the potential to expand twice).

According to the GS Group, the volume of the Russian LED lighting market as of 2019 is estimated at 58.9 billion rubles, which is a little more than 1% of the global market (data from Lighting Business Consulting). The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation estimates the market for state contracts, under which traditional light sources should be replaced with LED lighting, at 442 billion rubles. This assessment assumes that government contracts are being implemented gradually over 10 years (since 2017). at the same time, the state program for the modernization of lighting and the replacement of LED lamps in the Russian Federation has been completed by about 25%.

In the total cost of light equipment, the cost of the LED takes 7-8%. Thus, the market for LEDs in Russia in value terms can be estimated at 3.3 billion rubles. per year or 0.843 billion units in physical terms. Analysis of the public procurement market showed that government contracts for the replacement of lighting fixtures account for a third of the total market volume (in value terms).

2020: LED production launch plan
