Denis Manturov met with Acting Governor of the Tver Region Vitaly Korolev
Denis Manturov visited the site of Tek-kom Proizvodstvo, a Russian manufacturer of a wide range of bearings. The group has fully fulfilled its obligations to develop and localize the production technology for axlebox cassette bearings for heavy-duty railcars under SPIC 2.0. Previously, bearing production for this type of railcar relied on imported components.
In addition, the company has developed design and technological documentation, conducted tests, and is now putting into production axlebox bearings for high-speed trains.
Using the industrial mortgage program supported by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Tek-com is completing construction of a new production facility covering over 12,000 square meters. This will double its overall capacity and enable the introduction of dozens of new product types to the market by 2026. This expanded product range will strengthen technological sovereignty and enable further localization of bearings for the automotive, agricultural, metallurgy, and mining industries, as well as meet the needs of the shipbuilding and wind energy industries.
Denis Manturov noted that Russia has successfully developed the production of bearings for various industries. He instructed the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, together with Russian Railways, to develop measures to increase the capacity utilization of bearing industry enterprises.
Another import-substituting production facility in the Tver Region is TverKanatDor. The company was the first in Russia to establish a full-cycle development and production of ropeways, localizing critical manufacturing components. Denis Manturov inspected the finished products, learned about the production stages, and visited Russia's only ropeway testing laboratory. The plant is designed to produce 15 ropeway systems per year.
"TverKanatDor is a very important project that started only recently, but has already completely replaced imports from European suppliers who had abandoned cooperation with Russia. I think they themselves are already regretting it and counting their lost revenue. And we've gained additional expertise. Our engineers, designers, and specialists didn't simply create an import-substituting version; they took into account our climate conditions and the operating experience of other ropeways," said Denis Manturov.
The First Deputy Prime Minister also visited Gers Technology. The company was the first in Russia to master the development and manufacture of equipment for drilling horizontal and directional oil and gas wells. Previously, such equipment was imported. The company possesses unique expertise in producing import-substituting equipment for all stages of the full drilling cycle, including electronic components.
"In 2025, we allocated 1.1 billion rubles from the regional budget to support our enterprises and received 1.4 billion rubles from the federal budget for industrial development. This is a significant contribution to the development of the regional economy. We have good investment momentum, which we must maintain," noted Vitaly Korolev.
