Swerdlovsk's construction materials industry, lauded by Denis Pasler, plays a significant role in the region's economic growth
Atomstroykompleks Cluster in Sverdlovsk Oblast Gears Up for October Opening
The construction industry in Sverdlovsk Oblast is set for a significant boost with the upcoming opening of the Atomstroykompleks cluster, scheduled for October 2025. This cluster, focused on the production of building materials, particularly cement and construction products, will play a crucial role in supporting the regional construction sector [3].
The cluster's development is backed by both regional and federal government support for infrastructure and industrial growth, as evidenced by recent investments and regional development schemes [4]. The cluster's primary objective is to increase local production capacity and enhance the technological level of building materials manufacturing.
One of the key components of the Atomstroykompleks cluster is the "Teplit" factory, nearing completion. Once operational, it will significantly increase the annual output of twin blocks to 1.2 million cubic meters. The demand for this product is already high in neighbouring regions such as Perm Krai, Bashkortostan, and Udmurtia [2].
The Atomstroykompleks cluster is not alone in the production of building materials in Sverdlovsk Oblast. More than 40 enterprises in the region produce a wide range of in-demand materials, including ceramic tiles, bricks, cement, reinforced concrete products, dry construction mixes, concrete, lime, and asbestos [6].
GK "Atomstroykompleks" supplies building materials to the entire construction industry, including multi-family and individual housing construction. The cluster also includes factories for cement and lime production [1]. Valery Ananev, the head of GK "Atomstroykompleks", expressed his gratitude for the regional leadership's interest in fostering local production and establishing a productive dialogue with key market players [7].
In addition to supporting domestic infrastructure, the Atomstroykompleks cluster may also contribute to Sverdlovsk Oblast's export potential. The region has signed framework agreements with Belarusian suppliers for machinery that supports agriculture and potentially construction-related equipment, indicating an increasing openness to cross-border industrial supply chains [5].
While specific export volumes and markets for the Sverdlovsk Atomstroykompleks cluster are not yet reported, the cluster's activation and the regional government's involvement suggest that production is expected to rise, potentially enabling increased domestic supply and opportunities to export within the Eurasian economic space [1][4].
An exclusive interview with the Minister of Construction and Infrastructure Development of Sverdlovsk Oblast, Grigory Surganov, was previously published by "Regional Newspaper" [8]. The Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast, Denis Pasler, also visited the waste-free eco-production cluster of building materials of GK "Atomstroykompleks" in Sysert on August 11 [8].
In conclusion, the Atomstroykompleks cluster in Sverdlovsk Oblast is operationalizing production in late 2025 with promising potential to expand output and possibly exports, although direct export data remains limited. The region's focus on industrial growth and cooperation is expected to further strengthen the construction industry and contribute to the regional economy.
