A new production of unique medical devices will be launched near Dobrograd

VTB Bank has provided a bank guarantee for 338.5 million rubles to Intex for the purchase of equipment and the launch of a new production of high-tech compression medical devices. The project is being implemented in the Dobrograd special Economic Zone of the Vladimir region.

The development of the domestic pharmaceutical and medical technology cluster is one of the important areas of VTB's work, the bank stressed. "The expansion of Intex's production will increase the rate of substitution of imported analogues and create export potential," said Ruslan Eremenko, a member of the VTB Management Board.

He added that the bank sees prospects for scaling this experience and is ready to support such enterprises at all stages — from launch to entry into international markets.

The new facilities are expected to increase the production of medical knitwear used for varicose veins, pregnancy and childbirth, during and after abdominal surgeries and injuries. The new equipment will increase the volume of production by 2-3 times and will make it possible to produce up to 15 million units per year, Intex said.

"Cooperation with VTB allows us to implement ambitious technological projects. The new equipment will increase the volume of production by 2-3 times and will make it possible to produce up to 15 million units per year. We pay special attention to innovations — our bandage with a pressure indicator and medical knitwear of universal size, whose technologies are patented and have no analogues in the world, are already highly appreciated by doctors and patients," said Oleg Balashov, owner of Intex LLC.
