research and production.

The region of our production branch location has considerable potentialities for scientific
brainpower selection as specialists of nearby enterprises of Serpukhov, Protvino, Pushchino,
Obolensk, and Tarusa take first place in scientific researches in Russia in certain fields of
science and engineering.

Nowadays our design office is staffed with 15 specialists.
