Virial opened a new cutting-tool production line in St Petersburg on 23 April 2025, Interfax reported from the launch ceremony. Investment totalled RUB1.25 billion, including a RUB1 billion Industrial Development Fund loan. Chief executive Vladimir Rumyantsev gave annual production targets of six million carbide inserts and 120 tonnes of tool blanks.
Financing and the scale of the planned output
- Total investment: RUB1.25 billion.
- Fund loan: RUB1 billion.
- Planned inserts: six million annually.
- Planned tool blanks: 120 tonnes annually.
Products, materials and earlier equipment
The Industry Ministry’s basic-industries development centre account describes replaceable inserts for direct contact with workpieces on CNC machines and cylindrical blanks with or without internal coolant channels. The new range includes inserts for parting operations and rods with helical channels.
The same dated account reports an earlier Virial line launched in 2019 with a RUB235 million Fund loan. It made rods without coolant channels and simpler, lower-precision inserts. The 2025 programme therefore adds different tool geometries to an existing production business.
These are the stated inputs and development participants for the production project.
