The construction of its own site in Kimri is the second phase of investment project on expansion of production capacities and technological capabilities of Hamilton Standard-Nauka, which is being implemented since 2007. The first stage of the project has been completed in 2008 by the launch of production on the leased areas in Kimri. The successful implementation of the first stage has allowed solving the problem of the deficit of capacities during the transition. Qualified personnel, required for the further development of the plant, have been trained during two years of the Kimri site’s work.
The decision on expansion of Moscow enterprise’s production capacities (it is functioning since 1995) is caused by the necessity of increasing the scope of deliveries in the network of international programs, in particular, Boeing 787 and Airbus А380, and the growing demand from the Russian aircraft industry.
The design and production of several components of MS-21’s (Russian next-generation passenger aircraft) Integrated Air Management System will be carried out by the enterprises of Hamilton Standard-Nauka, including the new one in Kimri. The founders of Hamilton Standard-Nauka, Hamilton Sandstrend and NPO Nauka have won the tender on delivery of this system.
«It is a unique competitive and high-tech production in Russia. About 90% of enterprise’s products are exported and successfully operated on aircraft made by the world’s leading airframers, - says CEO of Hamilton Standard-Nauka, Roman Chichelov. – Putting new capacities into operation will significantly expand our production capabilities and will help us compete for participation in new programs».
The new plant has been designed and built taking into account the requirements of LEED international standard, it is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and it is using the advance methods of Lean manufacturing. The implementation of this project will help create one of the world’s centers for design and manufacture of aviation heat-transfer devices.
The investment project is being implemented with an active support provided by administration of Tver’ Region and Kimri city. It is of great social and economic importance for the region. The project will generate around 350 created jobs in Kimri and the regional and municipal budgets will get additional tax revenues. The total amount of investments will reach 500 million rubles by the end of the project.
