But at the moment [we are] doing this substituting of repair kits, working with China, the Emirates, with Iran, with suppliers who have been helping Iran for the past four decades to live under sanctions," he said, noting that the company is trying to study and apply the experience of these countries.


Earlier SIBUR Production Support Director Anton Burdin said that SIBUR had a stock of components for scheduled repairs over the next year and a half, the company is forming plans to replace imported equipment based on the needs until 2026. The key problem positions for the company are hypercompressors, extruders, technological lines for production of rubbers.
