Forsh Expands Tooling Production Capacity with RUB 224 Million Investment

Forsh Expands Large-Scale Tooling Production

On August 13, Forsh, the Ulyanovsk-based company, announced a Forsh production capacity expansion focused on large-scale press molds, dies, and specialized tooling used to manufacture vehicle components. The company supplies tooling for vehicles produced by AvtoVAZ, KAMAZ, GAZ, and UAZ, making the investment relevant to several major vehicle manufacturers. The production expansion represents a significant capacity enhancement for Forsh, with the company increasing its ability to manufacture large and technically demanding tooling required for automotive component production. The initiative is supported by substantial investment aimed at strengthening the plant's manufacturing capabilities.

RUB 224 Million Investment Supports Capacity Growth

Forsh has invested RUB 224 million in the production expansion, including a RUB 112 million preferential loan provided by the federal Industrial Development Fund under its “Development Projects” program. The financing has enabled the company to acquire new production equipment and strengthen its machining capabilities. The investment is intended to support the growing requirements for large-scale tooling used in automotive manufacturing, while improving the plant's ability to handle significantly larger components. The funding structure combines Forsh's investment with preferential industrial financing, helping accelerate the company's expansion of production capacity and technical capabilities.

New Machining Center Handles 30-Ton Components

The preferential loan enabled Forsh to purchase a machining center capable of processing parts up to 11 meters long and weighing as much as 30 tons. The equipment provides machining accuracy of 0.025 mm, supporting the production of large tooling components where dimensional precision is critical. Following installation of the new equipment, Forsh expects its production capacity to increase by 10%. The expanded capability will allow the plant to produce at least 30 large-sized tooling units annually, strengthening its ability to supply major automotive manufacturers with specialized tooling for vehicle component production.
