Porcher starts aerospace fabric production facility in Russia
December 27, 2012 - Russia
Present on the Russian market since 1994, Porcher Industries decides to move closer to its customers and markets. On December 18, the industrial group, specialized in the weaving of technical textiles, opens a new plant, in Koryakovo, 80 km from Moscow.
This new manufacturing facility is dedicated to the production of high performance fabrics, including industrial and aerospace applications. Victor Bourkov, Sales Manager for the Russia and CEI area: "we will manufacture high performance carbon fabrics. They are used in the design of aircraft such as the Airbus but also in the manufacture of building reinforcement fabrics.”
Henri Brosse, Porcher Industries Group Managing Director explains the decision to reinforce the presence of the company in Russia: "In the Automotive and Defense field for example, Russian manufacturers are turning away from traditional materials – steel and aluminum.
“They are now interested in composite material, which is a more durable, lighter and more corrosion-resistant material. We have an expertise of more than 50 years in the technical textile weaving. Our expansion is therefore legitimate for the Russian market."
Florent Dumel, plant manager of PSM: "we have a surface of 3000 square meter. The production team, 10 people, has been trained in 2012 in Le Grand Lemps (Isère, France), our French plant specialized in weaving of carbon". Porcher Industries plans to produce 10 tons of fabrics in 2013 and over 200 tons in 2017.
