ERJ Staff report (TP)
Moscow – Russian rubber product supplier Balakovo Rezino Technika (BRT) is at the Tires & Rubber Exhibition to showcase its latest parts for automobiles and target international markets.
BRT is part of the TADEM Group and has lengthy experience at the show.
Valery A. Zimin, Chief of Marketing Department, spoke with ERJ yesterday (24 April) about the company and its plans.
Zimin said: “We are a leading manufacturer of rubber technical parts for automobiles and are devoted to Russian producers, but now we are trying to enter international markets.”
In a competitive world they are constantly updating their range of goods.
“We always have to develop new products and we do this every year.
“We have developed new types of belts for Renault and Chevrolet. We also do gaskets and belts. BRT develops new products according to the requirements of our customers.”
Their monthly turnover last year was around 500m roubles (€10.1m) and this year Zimin said they will aim for five percent growth – because “the industry is in a rather difficult situation”.
