The head of state lauded the company’s positive results, modern comfortable workplaces. “Workers, specialists are pleased to work at such an enterprise. The  fact that we have such enterprises is important for me too,” the president said. “Well done. I have made a conclusion for myself: such private enterprises deserve support. It is not engaged in buy/sell operations (although we need hose too), but we will support such production teams.

As an important aspect of the activities of POZHSNAB and other similar enterprises, Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out that while producing the final product, they maintain cooperative ties with many producers and, first of all, with state-owned enterprises where they buy raw materials, parts and assemblies and chassis and supplement them with their own ultramodern things.

The president set a task to build on this successful experience and competencies, to scale up this example to other enterprises and industries as a whole. “If there is demand in the market, will we be able to produce more?” the head of state asked. “It is important for me. There is a very great interest, because you are a locomotive for many other enterprises, including state enterprises.”

“This is how our economy is slowly restructuring. The economy means enterprises,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.
