Rostec(Russian:Ростех,romanized:Rostekh), formally trading asState Corporation "Rostec"(Russian:Государственная корпорация «Ростех»), fully theState Corporation for the Promotion of the Development, Manufacture, and Export of High Tech Products "Rostec"(Russian:Государственная корпорация по содействию разработке, производству и экспорту высокотехнологичной промышленной продукции «Ростех») and formerlyRostekhnologii(Russian:Ростехнологии,lit. 'Rustechnology'), is a Russianstate-owneddefenseconglomerateheadquartered in Moscow.[5]

Established in 2007, the organization comprises about 800 enterprises, which together form 15 holding companies:[6]eleven in thedefense-industry complexand three in civil sectors. Rostec's organizations are located in 60 constituents of the Russian Federation and supply goods to over 70 countries worldwide.[7][8]

The organization is headed bySergey Chemezov,appointed to the position by Russian PresidentVladimir Putin.[9][10]The 2014 EU sanctions listing for Chemezov describes how Rostec subsidiaries supported Russia's annexation ofCrimea.[9][11]

History[edit]

Logo of Rostekhnologii (2007-2009)

On 23 November 2007,Russian PresidentVladimir Putinsigned federal law No. 270 to establish astate corporationnamed Rostekhnologii, which was previously passed by theState Dumaon 9 November and passed by theFederation Councilon 16 November.[1][12][13][14][15]

On 10 July 2008, newly elected Russian PresidentDmitry Medvedevsigned a decree that transferred 443 struggling enterprises to ownership by Rostekhnologii. Of these enterprises, 30% were in pre-crisis and crisis condition, 28 were in bankruptcy proceedings, 17 had no business operations, and 27 had lost part of their assets or faced a material risk of such loss, and in total they faced a debt ofRUB630 billion. In addition, these enterprises had worn outfixed assets,dilapidated production chains, and poor management.[13][16][17]

After the acquisition, structural reforms were made, helping the enterprises emerge from their financial struggles with a 20–30% increase in production growth, five times the national average. Most of the profits were acquired by Rostekhnologii, which 80% of it was from 20% of Rostekhnologii's assets. The 20% includedAvtoVAZ,KamAZ,thetitaniummonopolyVSMPO-AVISMA,and helicopter manufacturersMilandKamov.This in turn brought executives of some companies into conflict with each other, such as the case with Mil and Kamov, in which they refused to communicate with each other. As a result, Rostekhnologii had to work with the two companies so they can cooperate with each other.[17]

On 21 December 2012, Rostekhnologii rebranded itself as Rostec to make the corporation more open to the world. Rostec also featured a new logo, an open square symbolizing a window to the world and a focus frame, as well a new slogan "Partner in development" and implemented changes in its corporate governance structure.[13][18][19][20]The corporation spent $1.5 million for rebranding.[19]The corporate brand, which was launched in late 2012, is currently one of Russia's 15 most valuable brands and has a value similar to that of major companies such asRosneftandRostelecom.[21]

On 16 July 2014, as a result ofRussian intervention in UkraineandRussian annexation of Crimea,Rostec was one of the companies that wassanctionedby theObama administration.Sergey Chemezov,current CEO of Rostec, was one of the individuals targeted by the United States (US) and the European Union (EU), whose visa was banned and assets frozen by the EU. Rostec's access to USdebt marketswas also limited. Rostec was forced to rethink its strategy for its holding companies.[22][23][24][25]

In December 2015, Rostec's supervisory board approved its development strategy through 2025. According to the strategy, Rostec intends to change the Russian economic model by putting less emphasis onweaponry,aviation components, andsoftwareand more emphasis onelectronics,telecommunications,robotics,and otherhigh-techindustries. This in turn would diversify theRussian economy,increasing the share of high-tech civilian products and non-primary exports.[13][26][27]

According to the current development strategy of the corporation, by 2025 the share of civilian products in its revenue should be 50%.[28][29]

It was reported in late 2022 that Rostec had greatly increased the production of armored vehicles and ammunition in response to the 2022Russian invasion of Ukraine.[30][31][32]

Rostec announced on 5 January 2023 that it will commence mass manufacture of new C-UAS EW systems in two months.[33]

Chemezov stated in May 2023 that the company's revenue in 2022 was $27.2 billion and the share of civilian production had reached 45%.[34]

It was reported in August 2023 that Rostec's enterprises have increased the production of armored vehicles by 4 times and the production of ammunition for barrel artillery and MLRS by 20-30 times since February 2022.[35][36][37]

It was reported in September 2023 that Rostec's enterprises have increased the production of various types of weapons 2-to 10-fold.[38]

Sergey Chemezov claimed on 1 November 2023 that Rostec has increased over a year the production of tanks by 7 times, of other combat vehicles by 4.5 times, of artillery and MLRS by 2.5 times, and of ammunition by 60 times.[39]

Rostec reported in April 2024 that during the previous year it had increased the production of self-propelled artillery by 10 times, of towed artillery by 14 times, of mortars by 20 times, of MLRS by 2 times, of ammunition by 25 times (by 50 times for some types), of rounds for automatic and under-barrel grenade launchers by 5 times at comparison with the 2022. It also enhanced the production and repair of tank guns and artillery barrels twice, organized the production of munitions for drones and increased the production of guided artillery rounds and gliding bombs.[40]

Sergey Chemezov stated in May 2024 that the Corporation employed more than 660,000 people as of the end of 2023 and its revenue was 2.9 trillion rubles (31.6 bln US$).[41]
