Construction of the plant will occur in Syserti at a cost of 3.5 billion rubles.
In the heart of the Ural Mountains, the Russian construction company Atomstroycomplex is set to launch a new plant in October. The "Teplit" plant, located in Sysert, will specialise in the production of lightweight blocks made of gas-zolobeton, a material known for its high thermal insulation properties and low weight.
The strategic location of the new plant within an existing cluster of construction materials production plants ensures high production and logistics efficiency. This cluster, which includes three plants—Izvest Sysserti and Atom Cement, two of which are already operational—will now expand to accommodate the Teplit plant.
One of the unique features of the Teplit plant is its use of fly ash from the Reftinskaya GRES as one of its raw materials. This recycling of industrial waste not only reduces environmental impact but also contributes to the ecological well-being of the region. The collaboration between the Teplit plant and Reftinskaya GRES significantly contributes to the region's sustainability efforts.
The annual production of twin-block lightweight blocks at the Teplit plant is expected to reach 1.2 million cubic meters, a significant increase from current levels. This increased production will not only meet the domestic demand for lightweight blocks in the Perm Krai, Bashkortostan, and Udmurtia regions but also open up opportunities for export to Kazakhstan and Tatarstan.
The demand for lightweight blocks is high among builders of multi-family and individual housing, making the Teplit plant a valuable addition to the construction materials industry. Furthermore, the plant's location in Sysert ensures that local enterprises will benefit from having a reliable source of building materials, reducing their dependence on external supplies.
The investment in the Teplit plant project amounts to 3.5 billion rubles, with 1.8 billion obtained under a preferential lending program. This investment is expected to create new jobs in the region, further boosting the local economy.
Sysert, and the wider Sverdlovsk region, already hosts more than 40 enterprises producing various building materials, including ceramic tiles, bricks, cement, reinforced concrete products, dry building mixes, concrete, lime, and asbestos. The addition of the Teplit plant will further strengthen the region's position as a hub for construction materials production.
The Teplit plant's integration into an existing network of construction materials plants in Sysert promises enhanced logistics and production efficiency, contributing to the manufacturing industry's growth in the region. The investment in the Teplit plant's construction, partially funded through preferential lending, extends beyond the finance sector, as it fosters opportunities for job creation and regional economic development, particularly in the construction business.
