The Russian corporation VSMPO-Avisma will transfer some employees to part-time employment from December 1. The company is located in the Sverdlovsk region and is engaged in titanium smelting, including for the needs of aviation.
Mainly administrative personnel will be sent on forced leave. There has been no information about a reduction in production volumes.
The press service of VSMPO-Avisma explained that it is about transitioning to a four-day work week. They plan to transfer some employees not involved in key production processes to it.
Titanium from VSMPO-Avisma is used in the aviation industry in the production of aircraft wings, fuselages, tail sections, and landing gear.
VSMPO-Avisma also produces titanium semi-finished products for domestic PD-8 and PD-14 engines for MS-21 and Superjet 100 aircraft, respectively.
In August 2025, the corporation announced its readiness to resume cooperation with American Boeing. The company stated that investments in production have not stopped, so if necessary, work can be resumed at full capacity.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the former vice president of UAC explained why the PD-35 engine project was curtailed.
