At the former Pilot Production (OPP) of AvtoVAZ, the painting complex, which had been idle since 2016, has resumed operation.
Since the summer of 2024, VIS-Avto has been operating at the OPP facilities, producing semi-frame trucks and Niva Legend Bronto models.
The main difference from the standard AvtoVAZ painting technology is the application of anti-gravel mastic to the cataphoretic primer, whereas on the main assembly line, the mastic is applied after the body has been primed.
The painting line for the OPP was equipped by the German company Eisenmann more than 20 years ago. Now it has been restarted for the needs of VIS-Avto, which will expand the volume of products.
