It is positioned as one of the largest scrap metal processors in Russia and the CIS, with annual processing capacity of 1.3 million tons of ferrous and 200,000 tons of non-ferrous scrap.

The holding manufactures 16,000+ types of cable and wire products (power, control, marine, geophysical, enameled) through subsidiaries Sevkabel, Pskovkabel, and Mikroprovod (the only Russian/CIS producer of thin and ultra-thin enameled wires with radiation, water, and freon resistance). It produces 500+ types of electrical equipment through Elektroshit Samara (a 50+ hectare facility with 3,800+ employees) and Zavod Invertor, including transformer substations up to 220 kV, microprocessor-based relay protection devices, circuit breakers, arc-suppression reactors, and mobile substations. Oilfield services are delivered via PK Almaz, SKT-Servis, and Profintekh, offering ESP installations, polymer reinforced pipes (250 km/year capacity), and contact welding equipment using 100% Russian materials. Defense, aviation, and Gazprom supplier certifications anchor access to strategic customers.

The business model is sales-led direct B2B with enterprise customers across energy, oil and gas, construction, industrial manufacturing, shipbuilding, railway, and government procurement, supplemented by EPC contracting through the trading division (600+ contracts) and the Akron Project Technologies joint venture with Rostec. Revenue mechanics are hardware sales across all divisions, with transaction-fee/commission exposure in trading and EPC operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Subsidiary brands include Ecobox (scrap collection), OEOO (electronic waste recycling network), ROP (extended producer responsibility), and FC Akron (Russian Premier League football club) and associated youth football academy.
