The head of state was given a detailed briefing on the wide range of products manufactured by BelOMO Holding Company, which includes Zenit-BelOMO. The holding’s enterprises produce pneumatic brake drive units, automotive components for mining haul trucks, medical weighing equipment, and other products.

When the discussion turned to the production of automotive components for mining haul trucks, the president addressed Industry Minister Andrei Kuznetsov and set the task of developing the production of hydraulic units for domestic machinery.

«Your task is the following: we must master hydraulics this year and next. So get ready. Just as [Deputy Prime Minister Viktor] Karankevich has the baler and the milking robot, you have hydraulics,» Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized. «As long as I have been President, they have only promised to make it, and they never have.»
