Relocating from the center of Yekaterinburg to the premises of Ural Chemical Reagents Plant based in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk Region in 2007 affected the non-ferrous metals processing plant’s performance: the company is no longer the leader on a number of markets, and its staff was reduced by 10% as well, the plant’s Director-General Denis Borovkov told reporters recently.

The plant is to celebrate its 95th anniversary this year.

The company has now gone back to its full pre-relocation capacity, which took us three years, and the enterprise is now prepared to become the branch leader again. We invested a lot of money in various upgrades and now expect to launch new productions, enter new markets, and increase our international exports,’ the director said.
