OREANDA-NEWS. January 31, 2008. Relations of KAMAZ-Metallurgy OJSC with its strategic partner AvtoVAZ OJSC promise to be stable in 2008.

Demand of the Tolyatti automobile plant for receivers, pipes, rear-axle reduction gear housings is as great as in 2007. A couple of days ago prices for castings were agreed and new contracts were made.

Some of the most called-for LADA models are “classical” ones. They are inferior to modern Kalina and Priora in comfort and road safety, but still bring attractive prices.

According to Andrey Kuptsov, Deputy Commercial Manager of KAMAZ-Metallurgy OJSC, demand for “classics” explains that AvtoVAZ regularly orders positions for such models. The Foundry of KAMAZ-Metallurgy OJSC covers 70% demand of the AvtoVAZ assembly conveyor for these work pieces.
