CABLE gland and cable cleat manufacturer CMP Products is
cementing its presence in the Russian market, with the
launch of a Moscow-based company, alongside a new
Russian website and suite of Russian literature.
CMP Products LLC in Moscow is set to strengthen the
manufacturer’s ten-year position within Russia and the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), with direct
distribution to customers, allowing CMP to adapt more
flexibly to the needs and demands of the market.
Opening in early 2017, the Russian office will initially stock a
range of hazardous area cable glands, such as the Triton
T3CDS, E1F-series and A2F-series; the location will also
hold CMP’s full range of cable cleats.
A new website has been developed in Russian to support
the expansion into the market, including an advanced
product finder. Director general of the new office, Yuri
Savushkin has also recruited a new local team to spearhead
the drive, with knowledge of the local market.
Mr Savushkin said: “With increasing demand from the
region, the new office will allow CMP Products to provide a
more flexible service to the market, and the ability to
respond to customer needs quicker than ever. By recruiting
a local CMP Products team, building a website in Russian
and taking on both new offices and warehousing we show
that we are 100 per cent committed to the market.”
Vince Patterson, CEO of CMP Products, added: “We
continue to identify growth opportunities across the world,
ensuring that our products are readily available for projects
and customers spanning six continents. Our years of
experience in Russia, combined with a stronger ‘on the
ground’ presence, promise exciting growth opportunities
for CMP’s Russian team over the coming months and
years.”
The expansion comes as part of CMP’s ongoing drive to
identify market growth opportunities across the globe, which
has most recently been seen in the opening of a new stock
location in Alberta, Canada, last year.
