The resident company with American investments — OOO Ruchtech — is about to start construction over there. It will be a manufacturing factory with a design bureau geared towards the development and production of automated laser systems for macro and micro processing of metals, alloys, and composites. It will also make optic-mechanical components for various kinds of equipment. “It is a project with quite advanced technologies. We’ve been working on it for about a year to prove that Belarus will offer the competitive edge the project needs to come to fruition,” said Kirill Koroteyev.
Fiber-optic cables have many applications varying from machine tool engineering to surgery. A unique technology will be used to make lasers and consumer-grade equipment for specific projects. Lasers can be used in very small equipment packages, even as small as a matchbox. The intended investments stand at $30 million.
