Arrival of Italian specialists
Since 2019, the implementation of an investment project for the construction of a new production facility within the Forte Holding has been in full swing. At the moment, the launch of the plant for the production of steel panel radiators "Forte Prom Steel GmbH" is already at the finish line, but until yesterday we could not imagine the moment when we could still cross this line. The whole thing is in the unfavorable epidemiological situation in the world, which made it impossible for foreign citizens to enter the territory of the Russian Federation. Due to this fact Italian specialists could not get to our plant for commissioning start-up and training our personnel.
But we're not used to sitting back. Any new task is a challenge. This is difficult to believe, but even in the conditions of the pandemic, we managed to organize a private flight with a business jet from Milan to Volgograd for Italian specialists.
Permission to fly and cross the border was personally issued by Golikova Tatyana, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation on June 16th. With the assistance of the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Manturov Denis, State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Evtukhov Viktor and Head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Neradko Alexander, on the same evening the plane with our specialists left Milan.
It is worth mentioning that for all the time since the beginning of the restrictions from 31.03.2020, this is the second board that arrived on the territory of the Russian Federation with foreign experts from abroad.
Now we can expect the official opening of the Forte Prom Steel GmbH plant within the next 2-3 weeks.
