Top managers speaking










"Lipetsk SEZ efficiency is rated highly by the Government of Russia. Projects like this prove to be an practical tool for pulling investments into the regions"



"Traveling around the globe, I have visited many industrial parks and free trade zones. I am absolutely sure that this special economic zone is one of the best I have seen. I am not surprised that Lipetsk SEZ was ranked 'the best in Europe'. The zone will definitely win many more other awards in the future. As Kemin representatives, we are pleased to be a part of Lipetsk SEZ. We stay committed to our plans to build a world-class plant and launch it as soon as possible."


"Lipetsk special economic zone stays the most effective SEZ for today. With relatively moderate state funding, it delivers really good results. We can see an undisputed potential in special economic zones."

"Lipetsk SEZ is the best venue for a foreign company to start an investment project in Russia."



"We were the first foreigners to have come to the Lipetsk Special Economic Zone. I see today that there are many of them. We found here a perfect investment climate, support from local authorities and, finally, support from the local community because our factory employees are all from Lipetsk. And all of them have proved to be qualified and efficient.”


As investors, we need a special approach. This was Lipetsk SEZ where we found it.
I think Russia has two special economic zones of national importance – they are Alabuga in Tatarstan and Lipetsk. Although there are tens of zones, these two are definitely the best. Here we have a very good infrastructure, excellent location, strong backing by the governor of the Lipetsk Region and a professional team of the SEZ management company. I liked it very much. We visited plants of Lipetsk SEZ tenants and talked to their top managers. All of them spoke about support from local authorities and SEZ management in handling different issues. We were in Alabuga and other special economic zones. In our opinion, this one is the best.

The special economic zone offers a full-fledged infrastructure and a professional management team that assists investors in launching their projects, recruiting qualified staff and forming partnerships with local businesses. Looking back now and asking ourselves about correctness of the decision made, we are absolutely sure that it was the right choice. Our project was carried out in line with the initial plan...


Some of the first special economic zones established 7 or 8 years ago are now globally competitive. They are Alabuga in Tatarstan and Lipetsk SEZ.


«To select a site for our plant, we analyzed 20 locations and opted for Lipetsk SEZ as it offers full-fledged infrastructure, relative proximity to Moscow, welcoming attitude of local authorities and many other things.»

...economic efficiency of special economic zones is attributable mostly to investments made by SEZ tenants in the Republic of Tatarstan and Lipetsk Region.
