29 January 2018, Monday

On January 29, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan, jointly with Himgrad, held a Polymer Day in the traditional format of a communicative platform dedicated to automotive components made of polymers.

The event addressed the issues of automotive polymer components production in Russia and prospects for international cooperation, the use of polymers in cable production, the issues of cost reduction in the conduct of production activities, and governmental support measures. The Polymer Day also comprised a meeting of the working group for the localisation of polyethylene used in the production of fuel tanks for cars.

A welcome speech was delivered by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Albert Karimov. He noted the importance of the automotive polymer components industry development and the need to expand the market by strengthening cooperation ties between polymer producers and processors.

Following the event, it was decided to continue interaction within the working group for the localisation of polyethylene for fuel tanks and to consider an opportunity of localising the chromium coating technology for plastic car parts. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan will continue to work with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation to support automakers in the introduction of a new polyethylene brand, similar to the imported Lupolen 4261AG.
