Amber plant will help establish an art school in the Kaliningrad region

KALININGRAD. In the Amber Administrative District, the issue of opening an art school for stone cutters and jewelry masters, as well as providing housing for young professionals, is being considered.

40% of the city budget of the Treasury of the Yantarny District is made up of deductions from the accounts of the State Unitary Enterprise Kaliningrad Amber Plant and its subsidiary Amber Jeweler. The amount of annual transfers is 45 million rubles. The company’s management plans to further increase these indicators, increasing the profitability and profitability of the business.

One of the main goals in the development of the region for the next decade is the creation of an “amber cluster”. An investment plan and a general strategy aimed at the technical re-equipment of the extraction and processing of amber are currently being worked out. The plans include a multiple increase in tax revenues, and the number of specialists involved in the production of amber products should increase to one and a half thousand in the next five years. For a small city, this largely guarantees employment and contributes not only to the development of the amber plant itself, but also to related services enterprises.

The administration of the amber city district notes that cooperation with the amber plant is mutually beneficial for everyone. For residents of the city, these are decent salaries and life stability, for the plant - business development, for the city administration - regular tax revenues, for talented artists - the possibility of creative expression and the growth of skill.

In 2013, the company changed its owner and, accordingly, management, and already in 2014 the profit of Amber Jeweler increased 100 times. Such a gigantic growth in a relatively short period of time favorably affected the investment climate in the district. Now the process of corporatization has been successfully completed, the company expects the entrance of investments of the Russian Technologies State Corporation. Technical re-equipment is an important area of activity. Foreign processors are involved not only as buyers of raw materials, but also as partners in creating modern joint ventures.

The management of the amber factory notes that the association of manufacturers with artists has a beneficial effect on the development of the amber industry. When a manufacturer knows well the needs of jewelers and artists, he can create optimally comfortable conditions for them, which gives a new impetus to the development of this specific and profitable industry.

It is planned to open an art school in Amber. She will graduate specialists from quite rare professions - jewelers and stone-cutters. The most talented people of the country will be able not only to receive the treasured specialty, but also a guaranteed workplace and creative, interesting work. In order for specialists to remain in the Amber City District, comfortable and modern housing, as well as social infrastructure, will be built for them.
