A large factory in the Sverdlovsk region is halting operations.
The "Kremniy Ural" plant, part of the United Company "RUSAL," is suspending production. The decision is related to the unfavorable situation in the global silicon market and the rise of product imports to Russia at dumping prices. Reports "Signal Ural."
As reported by the plant's director Mikhail Peganov, against the backdrop of global overproduction of silicon, the operation of the plant has become economically unfeasible.
According to him, LLC "Kremniy Ural" together with "RUSAL" is already addressing the employment issues of employees. All workers have been offered vacancies at other company facilities, which will help minimize the social consequences of the suspension of activities.
As of 2025, about 300 people were employed at the plant.
