KWS has been a resident of the Elets Site since January 30, 2019. The volume of investments in the new production of sugar beet seeds in accordance with the investment agreement is 1,212. 7 billion rubles. In June 2020, the company started construction of a production complex with an area of 7.9 thousand square meters. As a result of the high pace of construction, on September 25, 2020, the resident company of the Lipetsk SEZ, LLC "Seed Plant KVS", celebrated a symbolic moment – the so-called "roof festival" (Richtfest). The tradition of placing special importance on the time when the building construction stage reaches its highest point is widespread among German companies. KWS notes that they are satisfied with the progress of the establishment of the enterprise and, thanks to the high efficiency of construction, they hope to reach the planned release date of the first test batches of products in December 2021.
