We aim to start the construction next year, and commission the plant in 2029,” – noted Director general of Russilika LLC Leonid Grosh.
In turn, Pervy Zavod LLC aims to expand the existing project for the production of building metal structures, which was approved by the expert council in August 2023. Additional investment of 1.4 billion rubles will make it possible to increase the production volume and create 70 more jobs.

Let us recall that the special economic zone (SEZ) of industrial production type “Kulibin” was created in May 2020 on the territory of Dzerzhinsk.
In 2023, the area of SEZ was increased by 10 times, reaching 724 hectares. Thus, SEZ currently includes the state site (more than 400 hectares), as well as private sites of DPO “Plastic”, “Oka-Polymer” and “Sintez-Oka”. The preferential conditions of the SEZ reduce income tax rates for its residents from 20% to 2% in the first 5 years, to 5% in the next 5 years and 14.5% thereafter, and also establish zero rates for taxes on property and land and transport tax.
The procedure for obtaining resident status includes identifying a site for the implementation of the project together with a management company, registering a legal entity on the territory of the city. Dzerzhinsk, submission of documents to the management company, including applications for concluding an agreement, passport of the investment project, copies of constituent documents, certificate of registration of a legal entity and certificate of registration with the tax authority, certificate of absence of debt. Next, the investor defends the project at an expert council. Then a tripartite agreement is concluded with the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and the Ministry of Economic Development and Investment of the region. Based on the agreement, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia issues a certificate certifying the registration of the enterprise as a resident of the Kulibin SEZ. To date, 31 companies have already received the status of resident of SEZ.
