In June last year, the Head of State set a number of tasks for the enterprise. “The main work is in the field of import substitution. In addition, like other industrial enterprises, Belshina needs to focus on diversifying sales markets and strengthening business contacts, primarily with Russia, as well as with other countries that are on the path of progress and constructive mutually beneficial trade and economic cooperation, for example, with China. To expand our presence in the segment of tire products and increase the volume of its production, we will continue to modernise the production bases at the plants,” said Andrei Bunakov, General Director of the enterprise.
Due to changes in the world market, the main task for the company was to redistribute the released sales volumes to the traditional sales markets of Belarus and the Russian Federation. Afghanistan became the most distant country of sale in 2022. And as for the consumer closest in terms of territory, this is the Bobruiskagromash holding, which is located next to Belshina OJSC.
Andrei Bunakov also spoke about the joint project of the Belneftekhim concern, the Ministry of Industry and BELAZ, the managing company of the BELAZ-Holding holding. Belshina OJSC will study the possibility of increasing the production capacity for the production of all-metal cord tires of radial design with a bore diameter of 57 inches. They are necessary for equipping domestic mining dump trucks with a carrying capacity of 240 tons, as well as for supplying the domestic market of the Russian Federation. “The global demand for mining equipment has gone up again, and neither BELAZ nor we should miss this opportunity,” emphasised the General Director of the enterprise.
