The enterprise is being built on the territory of the priority development "Verkhny Ufaley". About 20 million rubles have been invested in the project, and it is planned to attract another 30-40 million rubles in the future.
Briquettes are used at metallurgical enterprises, Alfa-Trade told Interfax.
"We will use flotation powder with a previously known chemical composition produced by one of the Russian mining and processing plants as the main material. Today, a significant amount of fluorspar is imported from abroad, so in fact our product will replace imported raw materials."Trial batches of products were delivered to a number of metallurgical enterprises, including Belarus and Kazakhstan.
"Positive feedback was received. In the future, if consumers are interested, it is possible to increase production by installing additional equipment," said a company representative.
