Russian market, the head added: this year, 1,700 machines went there, and plans for 2024 – more than 2,000 units.
Novikov emphasized that the company is trying to reduce the share of imported parts. If Russian parts are put on a par with domestic ones, the share of imported components in the machinery of the Belarusian plant is now only 4.5%. The share of Russian components in the machinery of Gomselmash is 40%, the CEO added.
