We are pleased to announce that the official representative office of PRIMUM in Uzbekistan is opened. In addition, last week PRIMUM loudly announced itself at the 16th International Exhibition "Transport and Logistics - TRANSLOGISTICS 2019" in Tashkent.

At the opening of the exhibition, the Deputy Minister of Investments and Foreign Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan Badriddin Abidov noted:
- The Republic of Uzbekistan demonstrates significant indicators in the development of the national economy. This market has become attractive to a number of large foreign companies in various industries. Moreover, the country has created a favorable climate for the formation of long-term sustainable partnerships between manufacturers and partners. More and more foreign firms seek to enter the local market with their products and services.

PRIMUM stand during the exhibition was visited by more than 420 potential customers. Our experts held more than 20 meetings with the current key partners of the region. Participation in such events helps to better understand not only the needs of the market, but also to see from within the specifics of doing business, the mentality and culture of the country.

- We started developing the concept of the stand approximately six months before the exhibition. We considered various design options, however, the key idea was identified immediately - the integration of the PRIMUM corporate identity into the cultural code of Uzbekistan. In our opinion, this task was 100% successful for us,” - says Olga Padalets, Head of Marketing.

This statement was confirmed by the award: as a result of the exhibition, the PRIMUM team got a diploma for the best stand design. In addition, our delegation returned with several signed contracts and established partnerships from the Central Asian region. We invite you to our oriental way with PRIMUM.

Sincerely,

The Russian Ministry of Labour and Social Protection has revised a list of professions in which the participation of women is currently banned or restricted, opening the road transport sector in the world’s largest nation to female drivers for the first time.

Currently, women in Russia are prohibited from working in 456 jobs in more than 30 different sectors. These barriers – common to many former Soviet countries – were inherited from the former system in the Soviet Union generations ago and introduced with the intention of protecting women’s health and safety.

In effect, it bans them from participating in many jobs deemed too physical, including firefighting, mining, operating certain vehicles in the railway and maritime industries, as well as driving long-haul trucks and buses of more than 14 seats. From 2021 however, these restrictions on transport professions – along with many others – will be swept away.

Following the change, the Russian road transport sector also hopes to find more recruits and increase its talent pool, ultimately boosting the Russian economy by making transport networks and supply chains more efficient.
