Feedback of participants the Khimia 2025
Olga Chepkasova, Lead Specialist, Belinterexpo
“This show is a key event for Belneftekhim. We have participated in it more than 20 times already. We have business meetings and negotiations with the industry’s major companies and foreign partners scheduled at the show. This year we hope to conclude some business contracts. Our companies have a unique opportunity to get to know each other, network and conclude mutually beneficial contracts. Khimia is an opportunity to develop and grow.”
Aleksandra Styunina, Board Chair, Lebedev Macromer Scientific and Manufacturing Company
“Khimia is an image event for the entire industry. It is an industry parade. If you are a part of the industry, you are here. We are always looking forward to this show because it is the main trade show in our field. This is a joy that we can share with our current partners. Since last year, I have noticed that there are more visitors here, more new contacts, and new communications.”
Oleg Podobryansky, Deputy CEO, KRATA
“For us, Khimia is primarily a meeting with partners, suppliers, and consumers. This is a good negotiation platform. People come here from all over the country and from abroad. Secondly, it is an exchange of information with colleagues about plans and the current market situation. The show defines a development trend for a year or two. We communicate with clients, receive information from them about what is needed, and we use it when we make our plans.”
Elena Kosova, Chief of Information, Kuibyshev Azot
“We have been participating in Khimia for many years. Since about 2001. For us, this is the main chemical trade show in this country, and therefore it is impossible to miss it. This year, Khimia is taking place at a new venue. I want to thank EXPOCENTRE for being able to arrange everything well in a new place. I am very pleased that new suppliers of both equipment and other materials can be found here. The show always has a very interesting conference programme. It features the chemical forum, events of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Everyone will find important and useful information for themselves here.”
Marina Bortova, Deputy CEO for Government Relations, Ruschem
“Of course, Khimia is the largest trade show for the Russian chemical industry. It showcases both our company's products, its promising projects, and its strategy. The platform gives the company a lot, as we meet with our clients, present our products, and communicate with the government representatives.”
Boris Levin, Deputy Chief of CEO’s Office, PhosAgro
“Today, on the day of Khimia’s 60th anniversary, EXPOCENTRE awarded us as a regular participant of the show. Indeed, we see the benefits of participating in the conference programme and directly at the show. Face-to-face networking at Khimia gives us an opportunity to discuss a new idea with industry participants and see what colleagues from other countries have. We can have productive discussions and meetings here. It is very convenient and productive that we can do this all in one place.”
Maryana Nikandrova, Executive Director, Polyplast Novomoskovsk
“Khimia is a start for the development of the chemical industry. We consider this show as a unique platform for interaction and development of relations with our partners. The plenary sessions of the programme raise relevant issues for companies that work with specialty chemicals.”
Evgeniy Makhov, Deputy CEO for Development and Production, UTS Group
“Khimia is yesterday, today, and tomorrow. This is the place where the interests of Russian manufacturers and consumers meet. This is a platform where we find new ideas. Where we are trying to test hypotheses of new business development directions. You probably will not find a better platform. The surprising thing is not that we are 100% busy with the contacts at the stand. It is amazing that clients book meetings two to three weeks or even a month in advance. By the end of the show, we have booked 80-85% of all lots in terms of meeting times.”
Petr Fefelov, CEO, WiseTech
“Khimia is a very big start for small companies that want to make themselves known. Online presentation does not have the same effect as participating in a trade show. From year to year, we see an increase in the popularity of Khimia. People come to find partners who can solve specific tasks. This trend is growing from year to year.”
Aleksandr Orlov, Chief of Separate Division, Titan Group
“The show helps us to develop in positioning ourselves as a company, presenting our new developments, achievements, and goals, and strengthening ties with our partners. I would like to note the importance of this event for the entire chemical community. There are many participants. All the areas of this venue are occupied.”
