Today is a historic day for the Belarusian machine-building industry. Today, the BelGee plant was officially opened in the Borisov district. President Alexander Lukashenko took part in the solemn ceremony. The enterprise was built within 2.5 years by the forces of Belarusian and Chinese specialists. For the auto giant Geely this is the first experience of establishing a full-cycle plant abroad. Its capacities allow producing 60 thousand cars a year. In the future, the amount can be doubled. Alexander Lukashenko got acquainted with modern technological processes of welding, assembling and painting cars. By the end of the year, 1300 cars will be assembled. Cars will be sold not only in Belarus, but also in the CIS market. Almost 800 people are already employed at the new plant. All specialists had additional training.
