VSMPO-AVISMA has entered the top 30 of the ranking of Russia’s most R&D-intensive companies, according to the business publication Vedomosti. The ranking was compiled based on Rospatent’s database, taking into account the number and growth dynamics of registered invention patents for 2021–2025, the volume of investment in science and innovation, as well as human-capital potential of the companies.

As VSMPO-AVISMA’s press service told RusBusinessNews, the corporation holds 205 active patents (762 in total) for inventions and utility models, and allocates around 2 billion rubles annually to R&D.

 

"Our contribution to the development of science and technology is achieved thanks to VSMPO-AVISMA’s top-class specialists. We continue to invest significant funds in research and development in order to remain industry leaders and provide our partners with the most modern solutions," said the corporation’s CEO Dmitry Trifonov.

 

Over the next three to five years, VSMPO-AVISMA plans to diversify its product portfolio and enter new markets by developing advanced manufacturing technologies and creating high value-added products. In addition to its traditional areas, the company is focusing on implementing additive technologies (3D printing), establishing a full-cycle production process for titanium powders and wire, and developing and manufacturing medical devices made from titanium and its alloys.

The unique titanium industry constantly requires scientific discoveries and developments to improve production. As Russia’s largest titanium producer, VSMPO-AVISMA sets the direction for the industry’s development. In 2025, the corporation introduced an innovative laser-hardening unit for pressed electrodes into production; a VSMPO-AVISMA engineer became a winner of the international "Expert of the Year" award; and young specialists were awarded the titles "Engineer of the Year."
