Subcontract and Engineering Exchange

The Subcontracts and Engineering Exchange has opened within Metalloobrabotka 2026. It is organised by EXPOCENTRE AO, the Yaroslavl Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the National Subcontracting Development Partnership, with the support of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The Subcontract and Engineering Exchange is direct pre-prepared customer–contractor negotiations on the manufacture and supply of parts and assemblies, and the provision of engineering and reengineering services according to the customer's terms of reference.

Alexander Fedorov, Vice President at the Yaroslavl Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has said in his opening speech that today more than 70 representatives from 34 regions of Russia and the Republic of Belarus are taking part in the exchange. More than 250 negotiations are going to be held between customers and contractors.

Maxim Fateev, General Director at EXPOCENTRE, thanked the Yaroslavl Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which organised the subcontract exchange within Metalloobrabotka 2026. This year, the show covers more than 80 thousand square meters, and welcomes more than 1,200 exhibitors from 8 countries. More than 700 participants are Russian. Metalloobrabotka is of practical importance as 65% of the exhibitors stated that they sign contracts after the end or right during the show.

Dmitry Kurochkin, Adviser to the President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in his speech focused on the role of the Chamber’s system in supporting small and medium-sized businesses. He noted that eleven Russian regional group stands are arranged at the show to demonstrate high-tech equipment that was previously supplied from abroad but now is successfully launched by local companies. According to him, the Exchange is the tip of the iceberg of a major year-round subcontract development effort.

The Exchange was attended by interested enterprises that are able to fulfill the submitted orders. Contractors signed contracts for various types of work as a result of negotiations with customers.
