Energoremont (Power machinery repairing company), a subsidiary of Severstal, was created in place of the spun off company - Energochermet and Severstal's power machinery repairing shop. The company was created a little over a year ago. During that time it has provided services to large industrial enterprises in Cherepovets, including Severstal, Ammophos, Azot, ChSPZ and others.
   APV HEAT EXCHANGER is one of the top two producers of plate type heat exchangers in the world. The company, which is over 100 years old, is known for high product quality. AVP"s products has been certified by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance beginning 1989, and by ASME (American Association of Mechanical Engineers) beginning 1991. It has also received an ISO 9001 certificate of quality.
   Energoremont stepped up in its development when it entered into the relationship with AVP, which produces, sales, delivers and assembles plate type heat exchangers. This relationship turned Energoremont into the largest supplier of this type of equipment not only in Cherepovets but in Vologda region. Besides, Energoremont's production facilities and technical expertise allow it to manufacture spare parts for AVP heat exchangers.
   A plate-type heat exchanger is an advanced technical solution in the heat and power engineering industry. It is used in place of the shell-and-tube boiler, set up in residential houses. Plate type heat exchangers have a number of advantages over boilers. They are energy saving as the temperature of hot water is automatically leveled with the temperature of the environment. They are easy to use and repair and are much cleaner when operating. Plate type heat exchangers are used in centralized heat supply networks, heat and energy generation, heat energy utilization and other aspects of power engineering.
   Energoremont benefits from cooperation with AVP, and gains a competitive advantage by selling its products. For example, Energoremont is invited to take part in a tender for purchasing of new heat exchangers for Severstal's converter shop. The company will also participate in the regional tender for heat exchangers for Vologda region's cities, which is particularly important as Vologda region began a housing and communal living services reform.
