Since the end of June 2007, B&R has been represented by a new subsidiary in Russia, of which Pavel Tikhon is the managing director. Mr Tikhon has extensive experience in the automation and process industries and also has an excellent understanding of the market. In addition to sales personnel, the Russian subsidiary also has an outstanding team of engineers available for training, application and service work in Russian, German and other countries where English is spoken.
With the founding of its 21st subsidiary, B&R strengthens its success in Russia and its dedication to the Russian market, and is now represented by more than 140 offices in 56 countries.
Customers include well-known companies in the oil and gas industry such as Gazprom, Surgutneftegas and Rosneft.

In addition to system automation, customers also include companies involved in classic machine manufacturing with packaging, machine tool and printing machines.
For several years, B&R customers in Russia have profited from an extensive sales and engineering network.

Because of this new subsidiary, which provides extensive market knowledge, years of experience in automation and detailed knowledge of B&R products, B&R says it is a strong partner for Russian automation companies.
