In 2018, PLAURUM Group of companies started to actively develop one of the most promising areas of business – supplies of precious metals products for international healthcare industry. The participation of the Group's core enterprise Ekaterinburg Non-Ferrous Metals Processing Plant JSC in the whole range of large-scale industry events in Russia and abroad was the first step to achieve this goal.

Therefore, EZOCM JSC was taking part in the European healthcare industry exhibition Medtec Europe 2018 (Stuttgart, Germany) on April, 17–19. Annually, the event attracts major manufacturers and suppliers of healthcare products and technologies as well as healthcare experts from all over the world. This enabled the plant to obtain additional opportunities to connect with major international players in the manufacturing industry of healthcare equipment. 

The Head of EZOCM Marketing and Advertising Department, Mark Vislinskiy, has noted that the company had an opportunity to analyze its competitors during the exhibition and pursued a range of negotiations with potential customers from Spain, Germany, Italy, the USA, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Russia in order to meet their needs in the supply of end products. Additionally, the participation in the exhibition facilitated the implementation of EZOCM JSC's major project called "Medical products".

"Currently, the plant supplies healthcare industry companies with gold disks, platinum wire, bimetallic anodes, platinum gauzes, chemical compounds, precious metals powders and labware. This project, started in 2016, includes the development of the manufacturing process and international supplies of precision products used in high-tech healthcare devices. For instance, cathodes and electrodes for pacemakers," says Alexey Fomin, the Deputy Head of Science and Technology Department of EZOCM. "During exhibition Medtec Europe 2018, we had opportunity to negotiate with Medtronic, the world leading company for the development of innovative healthcare technologies and solutions. The company expressed interest in our products".

Apart from Medtec Europe 2018 the EZOCM JSC delegation has taken part in XXIV All-Russian Congress of Cardiovascular Surgeons at "Bakulev National Medical Research Center of Cardiovascular Surgery" in Moscow as well as in XIII International Congress on Electrical Stimulation and Clinical Electrophysiology of Heart “Cardiostim 2018” in Saint Petersburg this year. The participation in these events enabled the plant's specialists to analyze the international market of healthcare technologies and elicit additional ways to supply material manufacturers with precision products applied in dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and also in clockwork mechanisms.
