KuibyshevAzot became the winner of the all-Russian competition of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RUIE)

This was officially announced at the Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), held on October 15, 2020. Due to challenging epidemiological situation, the Congress was held in a video conference format; therefore, the winners were announced in absentia, without the traditional awarding of prizes and handshakes. But this did not depreciate the value of this award.

KuibyshevAzot submitted to the competition the project “Production of ammonia with a capacity of 1340 tons/day (489 100 tons/year) at the production site of PJSC KuibyshevAzot in collaboration with Linde” implemented on the territory of the Russian Federation, using the technology which has never been used in Russia. The start-up of the new plant, which is unique for Russia, in 2018 allowed to ensure environmentally friendly and safe production with a low level of resource consumption, corresponding to the best world analogues. 

Alexander Shokhin, President of Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RUIE), congratulated the winners and participants noting the importance as well as necessity of such a competition, which has been organized and held by the RUIE for the twelfth time. This is not the first victory in this competition for KuibyshevAzot. In 2017, the Company got the Grand Prix presenting the project in nomination “The Best Import Substitution Project”. Another recognition at such a high level is the next step forward for both the Company and the entire team.
