Belarusian manufacturers: the best brands

Famous Belarusian enterprises

Let's start with the giants of all Belarus: in the literal and figurative sense. In addition to potato dishes, our country is also known for its tractors and powerful trucks.

  • Soligorsk heaps. They were formed as a result of the development of the Starobinsky deposit — one of the largest sources of potassium salt. The Belaruskali enterprise, established specifically for the production of potash fertilizers, is a leader in many respects. It employs more than 20 thousand people, products are delivered to more than 50 countries of the world, and the share of export of potash fertilizers is more than 16%;

  • BELAZ. Surely there will be no person who at least has not heard about the monsters of the Belarusian engineering industry — huge BELAZ trucks. Mining trucks can transport from 90 to 450 tons, and people against it look like real dwarfs! Just imagine, the largest animal in the world, which is considered a blue whale, weighs about 200 tons. That is, BELAZ-75710 can (in theory, of course) carry two such whoppers;

  • MAZ. With a wide range of trucks, tractors, chassis, passenger equipment, MAZ more than once has received the most prestigious awards and confidently travels not only in Belarus and Russia, but throughout Europe;

  • MTZ. The plant is one of the eight leading enterprises for the production of wheeled tractors, producing about 8–10% of the world market. Belarus MTZ even has its own district in the capital: it is a real city inside the city with parks, houses, shops, a palace of culture. By the way, the courtyards here are simply charming, be sure to check it if you are in Minsk;

  • Belshina. The bison is not only a symbol of Belovezhskaya Pushcha and the whole of Belarus, but also the official logo of one of Europe’s largest tire manufacturers. Belshina also has its own museum in Bobruisk!

  • High technology park. Not quite an enterprise in the sense of the word that we are used to investing in, but we cannot ignore it. Do you know that many Belarusian IT companies are world leaders in the production of intelligent products? Among them there is, for example, Wargaming and its World of Tanks: one of the five most profitable MMO games in the world with more than 140 million registered users. In honor of it, even one of the most chic festivals in Belarus is held: Tank Day.
