45. Aims of Tooling Shop • Presence of own tool production facility allows us to develop new articles in shortest terms and to maintain all manufactured tooling in proper condition.

46. Quality policy • We think that high quality of manufactured products - a necessary condition of our company’s competitive strength, it’s success activity and growth. • There are many factories in CIS countries, which produce rubber products, but quality has only a few. • Only high quality but not low price, based on low quality, can guarantee long-run mutually beneficial relationship with clients. • Therefore, the quality of work became normal for us. Even in most hard periods of our evolution we didn’tbetray to above principles.

47. Ukrainian certification Laboratory facilities include: • Laboratory two roll mill for development of compounds • Hardness testers, IRHD, Shore A • Rheometer for cure testing of compounds • Tensometer for measurement of tensile, modulus and elongation at break • Compression set equipment • Cell ageing ovens and laboratory general purpose ovens • Gehmen low temperature testing • Stand for an operating time and leakproofness of oil-seals • Equipment for the control of seals cross-section • Equipment for determination of bond strength of rubber with metal on brake-off • Equipment for controlling of an axial force of springs • Device for determination of pressure of working ridge with a spring on the shaft • Solvent and oil resistance can also be measured using a range of test fluids. • Our laboratory is accredited by bodies of State Standard of Ukraine for right to grant the certificate of conformity UkrSEPRO.

48. International certification • Preparation for certification by ISO 9000 is in progress now. • At the same time we consider that quality system should exist not only on paper, but to functionate really, building up streamlined system for the whole of enterprise, which will allow us to move forward and expand - to get profit from it’s implementation. • Infrastructure and equipment, planning and controlling systems, procedures of interaction with customers and suppliers – all this is need first of all to us, as to enterprise, which manufactures quality products, offering full service to buyers: from drawing to mass serial production of rubber-metal articles. • We are building such system now. When it will be formed completely - our foreign partner will define, to which agency he trusts to perform an audit.

49. Price policy • Our factory is situated on industrial estate – in 7th kilometers from one of the leading industrial centers of the country - city of Kremenchuk in which are manufacturing lorries and passenger cars, wheel disks, road machines, railway vehicles, the electrotechnical equipment, chemicals and petroleum derivatives, carbon black, steel & die castings, tooling, concrete ties, etc. • The industrial baseline of the city's factories has allowed to bring together at our factory skilled technicians: chemists, technologists, engineers, designers, tool makers, etc. • It is difficult in the World to find specialists with such high level of qualification, which labor would have so low fee. For example, the salary of the qualified Ukrainian worker amounts $350. • It is possible to find hundreds of similar instances in a difference between local and world prices. As a result - we offer to the buyer oil-seals cheaper than European prices, saving at the same time high level of quality and sufficient profitableness of production.

50. 2006’year program • New lands buying. • Building new shop with several sections under one roof: rubber edge finishing (trimming), oil-seal’s springs producing, oil-seals assembling, inspection and packing. • New laboratory placement inside the main administrative building. • Foundation a section of small automated machines 400x400 with ejectors - to have an ability to process not very big orders too. • By results of cooperation with European partners – to begin ISO 9000 audit phase.
