Thanks to the guarantee support, the manufacturer of pipeline fittings from Kazan was able to attract debt financing in the amount of 30 million rubles for the development of the company.
AZ ATOM LLC, established in 2011, is a resident of the Khimgrad Technopolis. The main activity of the company is the production of shut–off valves.
In 2023, the Tatarstan manufacturer received a grant from the Innovation Assistance Fund, which was used to purchase equipment to increase the range of products.
In the same year, in order to develop production, the company was able to attract 30 million rubles of debt financing from a credit institution with the support of the Guarantee Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan. The Fund acted as a guarantor for a bank loan to the company in the amount of 15 million rubles in the absence of collateral.
Today, AZ ATOM LLC has the status of a small technology company producing a wide range of import–substituting products: fine-tuning pressure regulators, shut-off valves, sectional valves, safety valves for industrial and municipal pipelines. The plant has its own production base, design and engineering bureau, test benches and laboratory.
"In 2025, the federal program of preferential lending to Vysokotech was launched specifically for small technology companies, under which companies can receive up to 1 billion rubles at 14% per annum for investment and turnaround purposes. The authorized Bank of this program is one of our partners, SME Bank. In case of insufficient collateral for lending, we can act as a guarantor for the transaction," said Rustem Mukhamedshin, Director of the Guarantee Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan.
