He outlined targets of achieving annual revenue growth of over 10% and an average annual increase in employee income of over 5%. Defense production should remain the factory’s primary focus, while economic production is expected to grow by 20% each year.
Regarding investment in production capacity, the deputy defense minister instructed the factory to continue researching and optimizing the efficiency of its existing technological lines, equipment, and facilities to boost productivity and improve product quality. The long-term objective is to master weapon manufacturing technologies.
In addition, Factory Z125 was directed to focus on implementing investment projects that will enhance its production capabilities and strengthen the national defense industry. A central component of this effort is the development of “Facility No. 2,” which will focus on mastering the production of large-caliber artillery barrels and conducting research and manufacturing of armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and tanks.
