We have many wonderful traditions at our enterprise. One of them is participation in the Spartakiad of industrial enterprises of the city of Penza. Our employees lead an active lifestyle: they ski, play chess, swim and run. After all, the most important thing in life is health.

On March 14, 2025, the Rubin Sports Palace hosted a competition of 30 Penza work teams. The teams competed for the title of the strongest in tug-of-war, kettlebell lifting, arm wrestling and track and field. Our employees took an active part in arm wrestling and kettlebell lifting competitions in different weight categories. Good physical fitness and team spirit are what instill confidence in victory. The employees once again confirmed the motto of our enterprise: movement is life.

Spartakiad in 11 sports disciplines is held throughout the year. We wish our athletes victories!

On March 10-11, 2025, new models of turbochargers TKR16V01, developed and manufactured by SKBT LLC as part of import substitution of TPS44 turbochargers from the Swiss company ABB, successfully passed tests on the 16M33 Weichai gas engine, which is assembled at Volzhskie Industrialnye Dvigateli LLC, Tutayev (a joint venture between Kamaz and Weichai).

After testing on the engine, the experimental turbochargers will be sent to SKBT LLC for an inspection of the condition of the parts and units, as well as for the necessary modifications to ensure the ease of installation of the turbochargers on the engine.

In accordance with the order of the Governor of the Penza Region dated 26.02.2025 No. 115-r, Special Design Bureau of Turbochargers LLC received the right to lease a land plot in the city of Penza.

The allocation of the territory will allow the enterprise to increase production areas to ensure the implementation of a large-scale infrastructure project for the serial production of engines and spare parts for aircraft equipment and will further provide SKBT LLC with an increase in production volumes and the creation of new jobs.

Successful implementation of this project opens the way to expanding effective mutually beneficial business cooperation between SKBT LLC and enterprises in the aircraft manufacturing industry.

At the moment, SKBT LLC has completed the next stage of development and production of the TKR16V01 turbocharger for the Weichai gas engine of Chinese manufacture. The project is being carried out jointly with Volzhskie Industrialnye Dvigateli LLC, as part of import substitution of TPS44 turbochargers (made in Switzerland) and subsequent localization of production in Russia. In February of this year, SKBT LLC manufactured and successfully conducted bench tests of two TKR16V01 prototypes. Tests as part of the engine are planned for March of this year.

This project is of great importance for SKBT LLC in terms of mastering the technology for producing turbochargers with a radial turbine, which had not previously been manufactured by SKBT LLC, as well as the possibility of entering new markets.
