Smychka=Plava
Many well known and deserving attention companies exist among the Russian manufactures of dairy equipment. One of the best known is the JSC Plavskii machine building plant Smychka. An important event that took place this year was the decision of the shareholders on 26 May to change the name of the plant. Since July 2009 JSC Plavskii Machine Building Plant has got the name JSC Plavskii Machine Building Plant Plava. The main reason for this decision was widening of geography and increasing of sale volumes of new separators models under the trade mark Plava. These are the bactofuge Plava OB-5, separators-milk clarifiers Plava OO-10 and Plava OO-15, cream separators Plava OC-5. As a result both the plant itself and its products have got the same name. The other event of great importance will take place later: at the end of September the JSC Plava will celebrate its 135 anniversary.
