Russia's new 4B-rouble plant to produce CT scanner X-ray tubes locally
A new 4-billion-rouble facility in Dzerzhinsk will produce X-ray tubes for CT scanners. The project, led by Servismed-Group LLC, aims to reduce Russia's reliance on imported medical components. It follows ongoing efforts to boost domestic manufacturing in the face of international sanctions.
Russia's medical device sector has struggled since 2022, with sanctions restricting access to critical parts for CT scanners and other imaging equipment. Local production of advanced components has been limited by supply chain issues and a lack of high-end manufacturing technology.
The new plant, set to open in the Kulibin Special Economic Zone, will focus on import substitution. Once operational, it plans to produce over 210 X-ray tubes annually. The project is expected to create around 140 jobs in the region. The Nizhny Novgorod area, where Dzerzhinsk is located, has a strong track record in meeting regional investment standards. This has helped attract funding for the facility, which aligns with broader efforts to develop domestic alternatives for medical devices and surgical tools.
The facility's launch will mark a step toward self-sufficiency in medical imaging technology. With an annual output of more than 210 units, it could ease dependency on foreign suppliers. The region's investment climate and compliance standards have supported the project's development.
