The Rostec State Corporation is going to build a factory jointly with a Chinese automobile company. The production may be located in the Moscow region or in Siberia, said Sergey Chemezov, General Director of Rostec.
We recently returned from a business trip from China, we were there at the factory of a large automobile company. Very advanced production - more than a thousand robots and almost no people in the workshops. We agreed with them that we would try to build the same factory somewhere in our country, maybe in the Moscow region or in Siberia. <…> They are ready to help us.
