Last week Mikhail Fonarev, General Director of FSUE “Moscow Endocrine Plant” (hereinafter referred to as the Enterprise), and Alexander Sysoev, the Head of Pochep District Administration, held a retreat on the development of production in the Pochep branch. The event was attended by the managers of production service, engineering service, legal department, personnel service, as well as supply department and scientific department of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Moscow Endocrine Plant", and managers and specialists of the Pochep branch.
FSUE “Moscow Endocrine Plant,” together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, is implementing a large-scale investment project within the framework of the strategic program of import to organize the industrial production of active pharmaceutical ingridients in the Pochep branch. The main goal of the investment project is to create a modern high-tech complex for full cycle drug production, which will ensure the country's pharmaceutical safety for a number of vital and socially significant drugs. By 2023, it is planned to organize the production of more than 40 types of active pharmaceutical ingridients. The implementation of the departmental investment project will allow the Company to reach a new level of development, enabling domestic pharmaceutical production to become independent from the procurement of foreign substances and to ensure the production of modern, high-quality, safe and affordable medicines.
–Large-scale production of active pharmaceutical ingridients is in great demand within the framework of the import substitution program in Russia. Since October, we have entered the second stage of the investment project, involving the beginning of construction of the production of active pharmaceutical ingridients from raw materials of plant and animal origin, and substances obtained by chemical and biotechnological synthesis. The enterprise is also allowed to grow its own plant materials for further processing. The Pochep branch has created the backbone of the agricultural and industrial subdivision for the cultivation of various medicinal plants, from which it is planned to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingridients. Specialists of various professions are needed: agronomists, breeders, machine operators – for the newly created agricultural and industrial subdivision, as well as pharmacists, chemists, technologists, analysts, engineers, and mechanics. Consequently, FSUE “Moscow Endocrine Plant” is interested in the development of the infrastructure of Pochep District, which has been discussed with the Head of the District Administration, and earlier with the Governor of the Region, – emphasized Mikhail Fonarev.
Within the framework of the draft of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia on organizing the production of medical masks, which was quickly implemented in the Pochep branch in the second quarter of 2020, the FSUE “Moscow Endocrine Plant” has created more than 500 new jobs in Pochep District. The full cycle production, with a capacity of up to 4 million medical masks per day, is organized using domestic raw materials: starting from the manufacture of high-tech filtering material – meltblown, to the production of the components – nasal strips and elastic bands for ear slings.
– Highly qualified specialists from Bryansk region and various regions of the country work in the branch and are engaged not only in the project for the production of medical masks, but also for the preparation of the production of active pharmaceutical ingridients. Our task is to create conditions for work, for living, and for spending leisure time, – noted Mikhail Fonarev during the retreat.
The General Director of the Enterprise emphasized that the situation in the country had showed people the need to use personal protective equipment against airborne viral infections, which meant that the demand for medical masks would remain for a wide range of consumers. The challenge for the Pochep branch is to increase productivity, and produce high-quality products at an affordable price. It should be noted that the Enterprise organizes the production of sterile medical masks – for use in surgical, and intensive care units of medical institutions, as well as the production of disinfectants, which additionally requires hiring new employees.
– There are about 20 thousand economically active people who are able to work in the region, and who work on a rotational basis outside the region. And with the development of production in the region, it is possible to return employees. And we are very interested in it, – added Alexander Sysoev to the words, said by Mikhail Fonarev.
