OK-Loza, which produces bearings for anti-aircraft missiles under a state order, will not reduce prices for products for the Avangard Moscow Machine-Building Plant (part of the Almaz-Antey Air and Space Defence Corporation) after an inspection by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) of Russia. The manufacturer proved that the increase in the cost of components by more than 500% is due to the complexity of the process.
OK-Loza proved in the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal that it does not occupy a dominant position in the market, therefore it can raise prices for products without any additional conditions, and it takes five and a half times longer to produce one bearing than before.
The dispute arose over two bearing models - 900810U ЕТУ 100/5 and 900912 ЕТУ 100/5. The "ЕТУ" group includes bearings used in special purpose products and the aviation industry.
Avangard planned to purchase a batch of bearings from OK-Loza back in 2021, but found that the prices for the products were more than five times higher than the company had originally anticipated.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Tu-160M bomber surpassed the American B-1 Lancer: greater flight range and combat load.
