«U.М.E.К.» Glass Insulators Manufacturer

The trademark CJSK "U.M.E.K" was registered on May 15th, 2007, and after that, the construction of the plant was started.

In the beginning of the 2000s, there was an electricity deficit in many regions of Russia, resulting in a restriction of industrial growth potential in the energy-deficient regions. Therefore, the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation worked out a number of programs for the development of power generation and power grids.

However, at that time, the capacity of the electrical industry failed to provide those programs with the required number of insulators, and imports of similar cheap products from South-East Asia could not ensure the fulfillment of quality and safety requirements of Russian standards.

To fill that gap, the company's management made the decision to construct a new plant for the production of glass insulators in Yuzhnouralsk town. The new enterprise was named "U.M.E.K.," and the first insulators were manufactured in 2009.

Nowadays JSC «U.М.E.К.» glass insulators production capacity:

• A production capacity of 4,000,000 insulators per annum (equivalent to type U70BL);
• A production floor of over 10,000 sq. m;
• A land area of 2.5 hectares;
• 260 employees on staff;
• A wide export geography.
