The Eastern Economic Forum 2025, held in Vladivostok, brought together government representatives, industry leaders, and technology experts to discuss strategic priorities for the development of critical raw materials, including rare earth metals.

Rusredmet JSC participated in the forum through its CEO, Andrey Nechaev, who presented the company’s perspective on addressing technological and industrial challenges related to the long-term development of the rare earth sector. The discussion focused on practical implementation of advanced processing technologies and the creation of sustainable, end-to-end value chains.

Rusredmet Group is recognized as one of the leading engineering and technology companies in the field of rare and rare earth metals. The company provides integrated solutions covering the full project lifecycle — from process development and pilot testing to engineering, equipment manufacturing, commissioning, and production start-up.

Between 2014 and 2025, Rusredmet specialists completed more than 20 R&D projects, many of them focused on rare earth and critical metals processing. The company has extensive expertise in hydrometallurgical technologies and works with a wide range of feedstock sources, including primary mineral raw materials, industrial by-products, and technogenic waste streams, delivering marketable and high-purity products.
