Our task is to fill them with effective residents and organize the work, - said the head of Tatarstan. – There are also big plans for the SEZ «Alabuga» together with «SIBUR». This is a great project that will give small and medium enterprise development.

To remind SEZ «Alabuga» and PJSC «SIBUR» signed an agreement on creation of industrial park «Ethylene 600». The cumulative investments on the project will amount to 1.3 trillion rubles, of which 140 billion rubles will be invested by SEZ.

As part of the new industrial park there are also plans to build a logistic terminal in the Tukaevsky district of RT. Terminal of SEZ «Alabuga» will be largest in Russia. The length of the container yard will be 1.05 km, which will allow to perform daily loading and unloading operations with the whole container train at once without additional switching operations.

It is planned that the logistic complex of SEZ «Alabuga» will receive and send in reverse direction at least one train to China every week.
