Aviadvigatel – The Best Partner Ever!

Aviadvigatel Design Bureau was conferred the honorary rank of "The Best Partner of Proton Company in 2007" and the honorary status of "The Key  Partner of Proton Company".

On June 6, 2008, the General Director of Proton-PM Igor Arbuzov presented diplomas to the General Designer of Aviadvigatel Alexander Inozemtsev.

Aviadvigatel and Proton -PM are long standing partners. As far back as in February 2001, the two companies signed a perpetual Agreement for Cooperation in Production of Ural-2500 and Ural-4000 Gensets. At present Proton-PM has extended the range of product made by having successfully mastered assembly and testing of 6 MW Ural gensets. In February 2008, the companies signed the Agreement for Strategic Partnership envisaging among other things establishment of in-house piping production.

Cooperation of two Perm aerospace companies is subject to many factors including not only long-term relations within the common production site but also availability of a state-of-the-art assembly and test complex at Proton-PM. The company put into service a test bench for full-scale testing of gas turbine gensets allowing all necessary genset adjustments to be made straight at the factory that provides for a high level of readiness of gensets, which in its turn significantly improves Aviadvigatel product competitiveness and contributes to increase of its share in the gas turbine equipment market.

Directors of both companies note that partnership relations of Aviadvigatel and Proton-PM showing a stable development allow resolving a complex problem of reducing the gas turbine equipment production manpower and cost and developing production on the basis of aviation and rocket technologies at a quick pace.
