The year 2024 is marked by a landmark date for our country – the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus from the Nazi invaders.

Decades later, the memory of the feat of the Soviet people, our compatriots, who stood shoulder to shoulder with arms in hand to defend the borders of their beloved Motherland, does not fade.

And today, maintaining immense gratitude to our ancestors for the unsurpassed lessons of courage in the fight against the enemy for the freedom of the Fatherland, our company is ready to make every effort to ensure that a terrible war never happens again on our native land.

We fill every working day with the desire for peace and the desire to secure Belarus from external aggression, producing defense products and providing special-purpose services. Thus, we make our contribution to the common cause of defending the Motherland.

For our enterprise, 2024 will be doubly memorable, because on May 27, the Republican Unitary Production Enterprise “Precision Electromechanics Plant” will turn 15 years old.

For our team, this is not some kind of intermediate date in the calendar of the enterprise’s life.

15 years have become for us the time during which we learned to see our own potential and use the opportunities for growth and development that opened up for the company.

This is the time during which we managed to create stable and productive ties with partners in the defense sector of the economy and the military-industrial complex.

This is the time during which we were able to qualitatively solve the most complex government tasks to ensure the country’s defense capability and pave the way for increasing the success of future projects.

This is a time for us to gain faith in our own strengths and confidence in the future. And today we can say that our enterprise is part of a solid foundation that has become the key to the sustainable development of the Belarusian defense industry, the armed forces and the strengthening of national interests at the international level.

But everything that we managed to do is based on the daily work and dedication of our team, where every employee understands what responsibility the enterprise has to the state to ensure the security of our Motherland.

On the eve of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus from the Nazi invaders and the 15th anniversary of the plant, we are announcing a creative competition of crafts and drawings “Defense of the Motherland through the eyes of children.”
