The initiative to create, on the basis of the Ulyanovsk machine tool plant, a joint venture with the Belarusian holding company Machine Tools for the production of union machine tools, announced by the governor of the Ulyanovsk region, Alexey Russkych, in a meeting with the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko last September, is taking concrete form. Last week, Ulyanovsk machine tool builders, together with their Belarusian counterparts, developed a roadmap for the Union machine tool project, which includes the creation of completely replaceable high-tech assembly mechanisms by 2030. The governor of Ulyanovsk, Alexey Russkych, announced this at a meeting of the headquarters for the integrated development of the region. The Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant is one of the leading plants in the industry and was created eleven years ago as a subsidiary of the German-Japanese concern DMG MORI for the transfer of advanced technologies for the production of CNC machines. In 2022, the former foreign owners stopped production, but after the presidential decree that placed the plant under the temporary management of the Federal Asset Management Agency with the support of the regional authorities, the enterprise received a second life. Last year, the production of universal CNC lathe and vertical machining centers was restored.

Following this, the governor of Ulyanovsk, Alexey Russkych, initiated the creation of the "Machine Tool Builder" industrial cluster in the region, the core of which was the Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant (USZ), which also included the "Ulianovsk Heavy Machine Tool Plant and other specialized plants. Thanks to such cooperation, it is possible to establish our own production of components that previously had to be imported.
