PRESSEINFORMATION / PRESS RELEASE
R. STAHL AG acquires an interest in Russian company ZAVOD Goreltex
Waldenburg, 16 September 2016 - R. STAHL consistently expands its market
position in Russia. The German company R. STAHL acquires an interest of
25% in Russian company ZAVOD Goreltex, in the context of a capital
increase. ZAVOD Goreltex is number two in the Russian explosion protection
market. With this investment, R. STAHL lays the foundations for additional
growth in Russia.
ZAVOD Goreltex is located in Saint Petersburg and today has the sales
offices in Saint Petersburg, Tyumen, Perm, Khabarovsk and also in Belarus
and Kazakhstan. The Russian company has 23 years of experience in explosion
protection and is one of the leading players on the Russian explosion
protection market. Goreltex is a manufacturer of explosion-protected
equipment, with two large manufacturing sites in Saint Petersburg and
Tyumen. The company has grown strongly in recent years. With the capital
increase provided by R. STAHL, the production facilities in
Saint Petersburg will be extended.
"We have monitored the development in the Russian market and we are
convinced that the market will have great potential in future. Investment
in company Goreltex will grant us easier access to the Russian market to
strengthen and to expand R. STAHL's position", says Martin Schomaker, CEO
of R. STAHL AG, about the reasons for the investment. "Though the German-
Russian relations are currently strained, we expect them to stabilize in
the long term so that commercial business will be promoted", Bernd Marx,
CFO of R. STAHL AG, elaborates. Due to the current European embargo policy,
Russian companies are urged by their government to prefer the products
manufactured in the territory of the Russian Federation instead of foreign
manufactures. This strongly increases growth of the Russian manufacturers
including manufacturers of Ex-products. Through the application of the
German products in the equipment produced in Russia, the product range of
ZAVOD Goreltex will be significantly extended. Through the investment,
R. STAHL will take part in the development of the Russian company.
