In order to encourage and popularize domestic production, scientific-production and research teams that have developed and put into operation equipment and technologies that meet the modern technical level, mastered the production of new types of high-quality metal products, the organizing committee of the International Industrial Exhibition "Metal-Expo" established gold and silver medals. Such medals are awarded annually to the best enterprises and organizations among the participants of the exhibition.

On November 10, a ceremony of awarding enterprises, companies and institutes with medals and diplomas of laureates of the XXIX International Industrial Exhibition took place in Moscow within the framework of Metal Expo 2023. JSC "Ruspolimet" was awarded a silver medal for joint research work with the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named after R.E. Alekseev. The competition commission of the forum was highly appreciated for "The development of compositions and technologies for the use of exothermic mixtures to increase the yield of usable metal when casting ingots from steel 08-12X18N10T".

Ruspolimet took part in the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum. This year, the SPIEF gathered more than 20 thousand participants from 53 countries. The geography of the participants of the event this year has noticeably shifted towards the Asia-Pacific region, Africa and the Arab world. 

Today, our company participates in the implementation of a serious program of import substitution of equipment for offshore hydrocarbon production. Ruspolimet has overcome a serious path in mastering the blanks of equipment components made of complex steel grades. The final assembly of the equipment is underway at the Nizhny Novgorod plant of the 70th anniversary of Victory. Ruspolimet has already entered large-scale deliveries for a series of equipment. At the exhibition, we agreed with our partners on the gradual signing of a long-term contract. 

Our partnership in the gas industry is not limited only to cooperation with the Nizhny Novgorod Machine-Building Plant. For example, one of the Russian enterprises of the GazEnergoHolding structure has developed a domestic gas pumping turbine. At the forum, we discussed the controversial aspects of cooperation. Ruspolimet is ready to take up the production of a series of blanks, but we do not agree to work in the "need yesterday" mode. This will inevitably affect the quality, and Ruspolimet values its reputation. Therefore, we will have additional negotiations on delivery dates that are optimal for both sides. 

At the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, Ruspolimet and Grankom demonstrated the results of work on the use of new materials and technologies in the field of mechanical engineering: special steels and alloys and products made of them, metal powders and products made of powder materials made by isostatic pressing and additive technologies.
