The convenience of a one-stop approach enables the Plant to compete successfully and enter new markets, to develop marketing strategies and improve own logistics.
Certainly, external factors have affected the export ambitions of Mogilev Silicate Products Plant, but they have disrupted neither volume nor pace of growth. Last year, the company's products were presented not only in Russia, but in Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and Poland as well. Despite the challenging economic environment at the beginning of 2022, the Plant managed to avoid a decline in production thanks to the skillful and consistent increase in output, efficient use of materials and energy resources and rational labor organization. These factors ensured the profitable operation of the enterprise. The effective export strategy of the Plant and its focus on consumer requirements and expectations enabled an increase in export shipments by over 4 million US dollars compared to 2021.
Both the production growth rates and investments in fixed capital have significantly exceeded previous levels.

Silicate bricks are produced on hydraulic presses from Masa-Dorstener, MASA and Lasko.
The Plant boasts modern Italian packaging lines, ensuring the complete preservation of products during transportation and storage, which provides an additional advantage for export activity. The production of concrete and mortar mixes is carried out using new equipment from SIMEM, a global leader in construction equipment manufacturing, with electronic dosing of raw materials. Reinforced concrete products are manufactured on high-tech equipment from BFS Jumbo, utilizing vibration compaction technology with rigid concrete mixes.
Quality is another priority. The Plant has its own certified laboratory equipped with modern tools, ensuring ongoing product control. The enterprise's quality management system is ISO 9001-2015 certified; and the environmental management system has ISO 14001-2017 certificate.

The Plant has diplomas of the "Best Exporter 2011" and "Best Exporter 2012" contests in the category of "Construction and the Production of Building Materials".
