Refrigerators assembled in Russia
On the territory of Russia there are many capacities belonging to foreign capital. This is due to the fact that in the 90s many enterprises became unprofitable, and they were bought out by foreign investors. All capacities of the production line, as a rule, are imported from abroad, this also applies to the components of Russian-assembled refrigerators (we will consider reviews of such equipment below).
Among these businesses:
- Indesit, Hotpoint-Ariston - produced at the Stinol plant in Lipetsk. The plant passed to foreign owners in 2000.
- LG Electronics has been producing refrigerators and household appliances in the Moscow region since 2006.
- Veko has its facilities in the city of Kirzhach.
- Vestel - Vladimir region.
- Bosch and Siemens in Russia are located on the territory of the BSH Household Appliances plant. Place of production in the vicinity of St. Petersburg.
- Plant "Ocean" produces models of Daewoo refrigerators in Ussuriysk.
- Akai - place of production of refrigerators plant "Biryusa", located in Krasnoyarsk, also Federal State Unitary Enterprise "PO" Plant im. Sergo, with facilities in Zelenodolsk.
All conveyor lines and technological units of production facilities comply with European standards. The same applies to quality.models of refrigerators of foreign brands. So, for example, the Russian assembly of LG refrigerators is no different in quality from assembly at other factories of the South Korean company. Such products are in great demand.
Bosch refrigerators of the Russian assembly have some differences from their German counterparts, according to consumers. The company has a number of factories in other countries: Turkey, Greece, China, Spain, Korea.
Reviews
Reviews of Bosch refrigerators of the Russian assembly cannot be called positive. Consumers are often dissatisfied with the quality and speed of service, and, in addition, point to the noise of the refrigerator, the compressors installed in the refrigerators are Chinese, not the original German ones. Consumers also speak negatively about the quality of plastic and its susceptibility to mechanical damage.
Despite the improved production facilities, work standards and technologies used in production, reviews of Russian-assembled refrigerators are not always positive. Foreign brand products have many functions and beautiful design. The downside is that the market for refrigerators manufactured in Russia is mainly the CIS countries. Parts are usually replaced with cheaper ones, which reduces the life and performance of the refrigerator.
