Our Activities in Russia and Other CIS Nations
Yokogawa has had a foothold in the Russian market since 1993, when it opened a representative office in Moscow. In 1997, our subsidiary was founded there to launch this business on a full scale. We have been aggressively expanding our business not only in Russia but also in other CIS nations, and have reinforced our customer services by setting up sales offices and establishing technical centers. Some of Rosneft's refining and petrochemical subsidiaries already utilize automated process control systems supplied by Yokogawa Electric Corporation. Yokogawa control systems are also in use with the Achinsk, Komsomolsk, Kuibyshev, Novokuibyshevsk and Syzran refineries, the Ryazan Oil Refining Company, Angarsk petrochemical company, Angarsk polymer plant and Novokuibyshevsk lubricants and additives plant.
