For 2022, import substitution in the Teplolux company has reached more than 50%
The Teplolux enterprise, based in the Moscow region, adopted the corresponding import substitution strategy 2.5 years ago. During this period, the company has successfully implemented a number of projects for the introduction of both completely new and updated products based on components produced in the Russian Federation, which were previously supplied from abroad.
“The urgency of import substitution in Russia has increased sharply against the background, but this does not mean that the issue of replacing foreign products with goods of domestic manufacturers was not raised earlier. Using the example of the Teplolux company, we can safely declare that today the business of enterprises is much less dependent on Western goods due to the chosen strategy, which allows our manufacturers to increase serious competition to Western companies.” - Sergey Lebedev, General Director of the Teplolux plant.
So, for example, a foreign supplier of one of the key components of cable and wire products - heat-resistant insulating material - was replaced after a series of successful tests with a Russian one. At the moment, together with Russian chemical technologists, work is underway to modernize the plastic compound formulation, taking into account the structural features of the previously used material, which in turn will positively affect the manufacturability of the process.
An identical scenario has been implemented with another number of foreign suppliers of extrusion and molded plastic compounds. The previously supplied thermoplastic elastomer from the USA and Germany was replaced with material from another Russian manufacturer.
Alternatives to Austrian-made cross-linked polyethylene were found in the Moscow region, as well as in the Republic of Tatarstan. At present, the necessary tests are being completed to launch mass production.
In addition to materials, services are also subject to import substitution. In particular, the Teplolux enterprise in recent years has practically completed the stage of changing the company that carries out regular maintenance of production and technological units (molds, injection molding machines) from China to an enterprise located in a city near Moscow. Thus, the growing volume of orders within the country contributes to reaching a new level of production of the Russian manufacturer.
The chosen import substitution strategy of Group Atlantic Teplolux did not bypass the IT sector. In addition to the above, since the end of 2021, all processes within the company have become more reliably managed and controlled through the transition to 1C ERP, which successfully withstands many years of competition with foreign manufacturers: Microsoft, SAP and Oracle.
Thanks to an effective import substitution strategy, the company’s R&D center annually develops new types of products and produces a wide range of solutions for a comfortable and safe life for Russians, including all types of electric underfloor heating, anti-icing and snowmelt systems for ramps, roofs, open areas.
The proposed solutions have won the trust of millions of Russians, raising their quality of life to a new level. Teplolux products are presented in many large DIY chains, are popular with developers, installation companies, large distributors, as well as in municipal institutions (kindergartens, orphanages, schools, hospitals).
