This is a large number of complex projects and developments, many achievements and discoveries that have shaped the face of the domestic energy industry and will determine its future. Our company has always been a scientific and technical leader in the industry, and we're justifiably proud of our engineering and technical school and our manufacturing capabilities. The accumulated knowledge and experience allow us to create new developments and increase our workload: now the plant is well supplied with orders for the perspective of 3–5 years, and in connection with this we are actively hiring and training new employees. I congratulate our team on the anniversary and wish them new achievements and successful fulfillment of all assumed obligations," said Alexey Sadkov, Deputy General Director for Production of "Power machines" – Director of LMZ.
