August 18, <\/strong>Pozirk.<\/strong> <\/em>The state took control over Amkador, a leading Belarusian manufacturer of construction and logging equipment, after its former owners failed to repay their debts, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has told government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler linked Amkador\u2019s problems to diversification attempts and constant expansion of the product line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow is not the time for us to waste our energy trying to satisfy the demands of all consumers at once,\u201d his press office quoted him as saying. \u201cWe need to ensure the production of the most popular and, therefore, mass-produced equipment designs, [ensuring] their quality and competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All parts should be produced domestically, or at least in cooperation with Russians, to avoid relying on European suppliers, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, \u0141uka\u0161enka indicated that Amkador was in trouble. \u201cWe have big problems with Amkador, so we should bring this enterprise to its senses. Under no circumstances should we ruin it,\u201d he said, noting that the company had great prospects in Belarus and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April, Belarusian independent outlets reported the sacking of Amkador\u2019s long-time CEO Alaksandar \u0160akucin, a businessman sanctioned by the European Union in 2020 and known for his close links to \u0141uka\u0161enka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0160akucin was the key owner and chairman of the board of directors. In 2022, the Amkador group comprised 26 companies, including 17 plants in Belarus and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zavod SVT, Amkador\u2019s subsidiary, is involved in the production of weapons such as the Svisloch attack unmanned aerial vehicle and the Vartavy, an artillery radar and fire control system, the BelPol resistance group said in a report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
