New products

IEK GROUP Deputy CEO for Commercial Affairs and Business Development Artem Maimor participated in a flash survey conducted by the magazine "Oborudovanie Razrabotki Tekhnologii". The topic — "Technological sovereignty: challenges and solutions for industry."

Domestic manufacturers are actively conducting their own developments, striving to ensure independence from external suppliers. However, on this path, they have to solve complex problems and overcome obstacles. How can a company achieve autonomy and maintain stability during times of change?

Artem Maimor highlights key conditions:

• Diversify funding sources: IEK GROUP relies on its own funds, bank lending, state preferential programs, and bond loans. A strong business model, leading positions in the electrical equipment market, and stable demand for our solutions ensure reliable cash flow and allow for growth above market rates.

• Participate in developing the industry's personnel potential and labor market regulation: IEK GROUP produces complex equipment and software products, which must be operated and maintained by highly qualified specialists. The company actively works with future professionals in several areas: career guidance, cooperation with higher and secondary vocational education systems, support for championship movements, and norm-setting — developing profession standards, including at the international level.

• Implement new technological solutions: after European brands left Russia, the development of own research and development (R&D) has gained particular importance. IEK GROUP has its own R&D department, laboratories for testing and refining prototypes, as well as for testing new and serial products. Another important growth driver and achievement of technological independence for IEK GROUP is the implementation of an M&A strategy (mergers and acquisitions). With proper integration of acquired assets into the existing structure, such consolidation provides a powerful impetus for development. As a result, IEK GROUP not only expands its product line but also creates comprehensive solutions.

• Conserve resources: the modern ESG agenda dictates the need to pay special attention to environmental protection. IEK GROUP applies resource-saving technologies at its facilities and implements energy-saving experience in projects for customers.
