OREANDA-NEWS. On 11 February 2009 was announced, that Uralmash Machine-Building Corporation’s General Director Nazim Efendiev said in his interview, that ‘We’ve lived through several difficult months, but the coming winter and spring ones are going to be even harder. I believe the first signs of the market recovery can only be expected next fall’.

‘It is quite probable that we might not get any new contracts in 2009, so we’ll just keep finishing up with the old ones; also, we might be offered some smaller orders that will take three to six months to fulfill,’ he added.
