Geography of MMZ supplies covers 24 countries

The geography of supplies of the Minsk Motor Plant (MMZ) covers 24 countries, with over 87 percent going to Russia, about 8 percent delivered to the CIS members and 4.6 percent supplied to non-CIS states – as noted by MMZ Director General Aleksandr Botvinnik

“Last year, MMZ expanded its distribution network in promising markets by signing new dealer agreements with companies from the Russian Federation, the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Bulgaria, which specialise in the supply of engines and spare parts for agricultural machinery,” said Aleksandr Botvinnik. “MMZ goods are gaining a foothold in Kazakhstan, with a large warehouse of original spare parts and special equipment being set up at the trading house in Astana to provide consumers with quality products in a short time. A contract was concluded and a pilot supply of engines for the production of special equipment was carried out to a Hungarian company. After receiving a product certificate, the Belarusian enterprise is ready to continue co-operation.”

To expand sales to the primary market, the domestic engine manufacturer is developing the assembly production of diesel engines in Kazakhstan, with talks being also underway to localise the production of special equipment with MMZ engines on the Uzbek market.

In 2023, MMZ reached successful agreements and developed active liaisons with Russian enterprises. Agreements have been concluded for the supply of hundreds of engines, engine kits and spare parts to consumers in various Russian regions.

“The growth rate of engine exports to Russia over the past year stood at 107.1 percent in quantitative terms, and the growth rate of spare parts totalled 151.2 percent. Meanwhile, the growth rate of all export supplies to Russia made up 117.5 percent in value terms,” added Aleksandr Botvinnik. “The distribution network in the Russian Federation for the sale of engines and spare parts is currently represented by five dealer companies and over 60 industrial assembly enterprises. Their number is constantly growing, while the geography of the regions was replenished with enterprises from Russian cities of Tula, Izhevsk, Kaluga, Samara and St. Petersburg.”
