Nov 24, 2025
Our Company has become one of the key participants in the main industrial event of the year — the International Industrial Exhibition "Metal-Expo'2025". The event took place in the modern exhibition complex "Expoforum" in St. Petersburg, the exhibition broke all records, bringing together on one platform over 800 companies from Russia, China, India, Iran, Belarus, Turkey, EU countries, and Asia, as well as more than 25,000 experts. For CMK, this event was marked not only by a bright presentation, but also by significant business meetings and well-deserved recognition at the highest level.
Strategic Perspective on Industry Dialogue
The exhibition venue became an effective business platform for negotiations. The CMK delegation held important meetings with key partners and major customers. The discussions focused on expanding cooperation, fulfilling current contracts, and forming new promising projects in the fields of mechanical engineering, engine manufacturing, and other industries.
Andrey Zavrazhnov, CMK Managing Director, emphasized the strategic importance of participating in the exhibition: "For us, 'Metal-Expo' is not just an industry event, but a key platform for the entire metallurgical community. It is here, through direct dialogue, that the future of the industry is shaped. Participation in the exhibition is important for us — we not only announce our current achievements, but also demonstrate our readiness to respond to the challenges of the time, discuss new formats of cooperation, and strengthen trust with our key partners. The results with which we finish the exhibition, i.e. the launched joint projects with partners and the highest assessment of our professionalism, convincingly prove that we are moving in the right direction and our products remain in demand at the highest level."
A visit to the joint CMK-AMR booth by the official delegation of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, led by Deputy Minister Mikhail Yurin, was of particular importance. During the tour, Vitaly Sidorov, General Director of AMR-CMK Management Company, introduced the guests to the latest samples of metal products, innovative technologies, and developments of the Companies. They discussed the challenges of modern times and the contribution of Stupino Metallurgical Company and Aluminium Metallurg Rus to the development of Russian industry.
The Concept of 'Infinite Development': The Booth as a Symbol of Innovation
The joint exposition of CMK and AMR with a total area of 176 sq. m. became one of the most noticeable sites at the exhibition. Its concept, reflecting the key importance of metallurgy as the foundation for the development of all leading sectors of the economy, was visualized through a multi-layered suspension in the shape of an "Infinity" sign. This symbol embodied constant development and endless opportunities offered by CMK's technologies and products. The dynamic and modern exposition attracted a large number of visitors wishing to get acquainted with the offerings of the industry leaders.
Contribution to the Future: Dialogue with the Younger Generation of Metallurgists
CMK traditionally pays great attention to co-working with young personnel. As part of the exhibition, the youth forum "The Future is Built Today" was held, which brought together over 350 students and postgraduates from specialized universities. Maxim Smirnov, Deputy Technical Director — Chief Metallurgist of CMK, addressed the future colleagues with a welcoming speech. He emphasized the importance of professional growth and encouraged young people to connect their future with the metallurgical industry. Also within the framework of the gathering, an award ceremony for the winners of the grant competition "Young Scientists–2025" took place.
