Russian company suggests concrete manufacturing project to Belarus

         The group of companies Penetron Russia has suggested creating a factory in Belarus to make concrete products and additives to improve the quality of concrete, BelTA qoutes Mikhail Myatlikov, Chairman of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Negotiations with the Russian company took place during the visit of a Belarusian delegation to Russia’s Sverdlovsk region.
