“In spite of difficulties – almost total lack of budget financing for the development – this year the plant will reach the level of 1050 tons of metal per year. It’s imperative to significantly increase the production volumes, although the accomplishment of this mission is the enterprise’s duty,” – the newspaper cites the enterprise’s Head.
