Product exhibition of Smolensk region companies was held on June 26 in Gagarin, as part of the working visit of D. Manturov, the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, in which Vyazma machine-building was actively involved.
The machine-building plant presented several models of laundry equipment at the exhibition. The LB-30 «barrier» type washer-extractor machine, designed specifically for the healthcare sector, was among them. Modern and budget-friendly barrier «Vyazma» machines became particularly topical during the pandemic. The demand for them increased 6 times compared to the same period of 2019 (and sales volume of barrier machines exceeded last year's figures just in 5 months of the current year). Moreover, the plant is secured with orders for this type of machines until the end of 2020 already: to equip new facilities of nuclear industry and medical centers opened as part of coronavirus busting.

In addition, the company presented its special development – a mobile field bath designed for use outside the permanent base of military personnel.
During the business conversation with the minister, A. N. Antonov, the General director of the plant, raised the problem of high-quality Russian production spares supply, which forced the company to buy expensive imported products, accounting for almost 50% of cost of the finished products.
Having familiarized himself with the presented models of equipment, the minister noted that it is a good thing to have such enterprises as Vyazma machine-building plant in Russia.
Following the results of the visit, and having discussed the directions and existing opportunities of the regional companies with A. Ostrovkiy, Governor of the Smolensk region, D. Manturov emphasized that the state is focused on development of regional industry and ramp-up of its economic strength.
