The Foundry of JSC "Petrozavodskmash" (Republic of Karelia) hosted the official opening of a modern site for preliminary machining of cylinder covers and diesel engine block suspensions. The new production line is capable of producing up to 13,800 covers and 7,000 suspensions annually, which significantly expands the company's capabilities in supplying components for engine building.
The project was made possible thanks to a preferential loan of 2.4 billion rubles provided by the Industrial Development Fund (IDF) for the purchase of advanced equipment and specialized tooling.
In recent years, Petrozavodskmash has been actively transforming its products: instead of traditional products of simple geometry — such as paper machine rolls and tubing — the plant is moving to the production of complex iron castings, including cylinder blocks, sleeves, and covers.
To date, the company has mastered more than 50 items of increased technological complexity. In parallel, the machine park is being modernized and own technological solutions are being introduced for the production of high-precision castings.
