On August 1, 2016, the governor of the Ryazan region held a working meeting with the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin.
Kovalev reported on the socio-economic situation in the region, indicators of development of agriculture and industry.
The governor noted the implementation of investment projects aimed at import substitution. One of them is a high-strength fastener factory "BERVEL".
Quote from the transcript of the conversation between the governor and the president:
“The second production is also import-substituting. It’s a shame to say that Russia purchased high-strength fasteners and calibrated rolled products abroad.
The first stage has been put into production, now the second stage, we are reducing the import of these species by about 20 percent.
Calibrated steel is used in mechanical engineering, hardened calibrated steel and high-strength fasteners are used in bridges, tunnels, railways, and so on."
