Introduction

The Republic of Tatarstan is one of the most economically developed and politically stable regions of the Russian Federation. The leading agencies Forbes and Ernst&Young evaluate the Republic of Tatarstan as the best region for doing business in Russia.

SEZ “Alabuga” was established in 2006 and provides ready industrial, engineering, transport and customs infrastructure, as well as a number of tax and customs preferences for investors. Since then the world-wide known international companies such as Ford, Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide, Rockwool, Sisecam, Hayat Group and others have chosen SEZ “Alabuga” as a site for locating production facilities.

According to the federal legislation, an investor is entitled to duty-free import of raw materials, equipment and components to the territory of SEZ "Alabuga". As of today the residents' total investment volume into the projects exceeds 2.5 bln. USD. Federal and regional authorities have already invested almost 16 billion rubles into the infrastructure development of Special Economic Zone "Alabuga".

Considering the opportunities emerging in the Russian Federation and perhaps your plans to expand business in Russia, I invite you to the SEZ “Alabuga” to discuss the possibilities for our mutually beneficial cooperation here.
