The Central Design Bureau will be restored in the Vitebsk region

December 24, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The Central Design Bureau (CDB) will be restored in the Vitebsk region. This was announced today by the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Kosinets, during a visit to the exhibition of achievements of the region's industrial enterprises in 2009, according to a BELTA correspondent. The unification of the region's best design forces will give a new impetus to the development of mechanical engineering and instrument engineering in the region and an opportunity to more actively introduce new, in-demand products into production, the chairman of the regional executive committee is confident. For this purpose, he instructed to restore the CDB by May 2010, as well as to develop a unified program for the development of design bureaus of industrial enterprises in the Vitebsk region. In addition, in order not to lose the existing potential, enterprise managers need to financially stimulate the interest of their designers in their work and recognize their achievements, Alexander Kosinets emphasized. The latter was initiated immediately after familiarizing himself with the exhibition. The Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee expressed gratitude to Igor Spiridenok, a design engineer at RUPP "Vityaz", for the development and mass production of liquid crystal televisions, as well as to Tamara Agatiy, a fashion designer at the Vitebsk garment factory "Vitebchanka", and Galina Kazarnovskaya, head of the design department at the Vitebsk State Technological University, for developing collections of linen clothing. As planned, the honoring of the best designers will be held in the Vitebsk region annually. The exhibition of achievements of the Vitebsk region's industrial enterprises in 2009 was organized on the basis of RUPP "Vityaz". About 40 enterprises of the region are participating in it. These include machine-tool plants "Krasny Borets", "Vistan", Vitebsk Electrical Measuring Instruments Plant, open joint-stock companies "Evistor", "Prommashremont", RUPP "Monolit", Vitebsk TV plant, "Krasnaya Zvezda" paper mill, and others.
