The Krasnoyarsk company PKF Okorka LLC, specializing in the production of ham knives for woodworking machines, will receive a preferential loan in the amount of 16 million rubles.
The funds will be provided by the regional Industrial Development Fund. With the loan received, the company will open its own production of holders for ham knives.
Alexander Zinovkin, the founder of PKF Okorka LLC: "We sell ham knife holders, which are manufactured at third-party enterprises, but using our own technologies and under the constant supervision of our specialists. The implementation of the project will allow us to fully control the production process, improve product quality and increase its quantity. We plan to purchase high-precision equipment for processing metal castings, which are the basis for the manufacture of holders."
The materials used in the production will consist entirely of domestic raw materials. Production will reach its full design capacity by 2027. By reducing the cost of purchasing components and increasing production efficiency, the profitability of the enterprise will increase.
Maxim Ermakov, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: "The company has a unique technology for the production of holders for ham knives, which has no analogues in Russia. Having a manufacturer capable of supplying such exceptional products provides new prospects for the region's woodworking companies, strengthening their market positions. We are interested in supporting such industries and see great potential in them. It was to promote the rise of regional industry and its transition to a fundamentally different level that the regional Industrial Development Fund was established."
For reference:
The company PKF Okorka LLC is the only Russian manufacturer of holders for ham knives made of solid castings using technology corresponding to imported analogues. The manufactured holders are critically important industrial products in the machine tool industry, and are also included in the list of priority products, taking into account the priority areas of modernization of the Russian economy.
