Shadrinsk (Kurgan region)
Specialists from the partner company Geeraс Power Systems (USA) paid a business visit to JSC "Shadrinsk Automobile Aggregate Plant". During the meeting, they discussed the prospects for the supply of heat exchangers and other components for backup power supply systems. Now SHAAZ supplies American manufacturers with heat exchangers for diesel generator sets.
- SHAAZ has been cooperating with Geerac since 2006. During this time, the partners have visited our production several times, ”said Andrey Kibanov, Head of the Foreign Economic Relations Department of SHAAZ JSC. - Michael Orel, Senior Engineer of the Department of Commercial and Industrial Installations of Geerac, was at SHAAZ earlier, and for the Director of Global Purchasing Justin Francisco this is the first visit to Shadrinsk. He was interested to see our capacities, to get acquainted with the technical capabilities.
The guests went through the entire chain of manufacturing heat exchangers, and also talked with quality service specialists in the testing laboratory. During the meeting with the general director of the plant Andrey Popov, representatives of Geeraс Power Systems once again expressed their interest in JSC "SHAAZ" as a key supplier.
Currently, the enterprises of the machine-building complex of UMMC (ShAAZ and "Orenburg radiator") provide heat exchangers for more than half of the generators produced by the American company. At the Shadrinsky Automobile Unit Plant, these are, first of all, powerful cooling units for industrial backup power supply systems. In July, Geerac will be supplied with three giant blocks for a generator with a 37.1 liter engine. The tests of a prototype of this product in the USA were successful and ended with the order of an installation batch.
In addition, today the Shadrinsk Automobile Unit Plant supplies Geerac with about ten thousand oil cooling radiators for household generators every month. Their serial production SHAAZ began this spring. Household generators are a significant segment of Geeraс Power Systems products, as they are used in many American homes.
- Mastering and serial production of a small oil radiator used in household generators is very promising for us. In terms of new developments, we are able to respond flexibly and quickly enough to the wishes of American customers. At present, the specialists of ShAAZ JSC are developing design documentation for other components for generating sets. In case of a positive outcome, their production will be located at ShAAZ, and this means that our cooperation will reach a new level, - said Andrey Kibanov.
In total, in 2018, the volume of supplies of ShAAZ JSC products to Geerac amounted to about 3 , 5 million USD.
