Information from the BelGee factory
Belarusian-Chinese Automobile Plant «BelGee» plans to open on its premises near Zhodino a site for the production of plastic exterior and interior parts for Geely cars, as announced by the company’s Deputy General Director Andrei Polegoshko.
We also had more than 50% localization. However, later, due to increased sanctions restrictions, we had to carry out work to replace suppliers of both paint and varnish materials and certain components. Of course, now this percentage has fallen. Through joint efforts we managed to resume small-unit production. At the moment, we are also working closely with Russian colleagues on import substitution. An agreement has also been signed and work is underway to organize on the territory of the enterprise with a foreign investor – I won't name it. Organization of production of plastic parts – exterior and interior. And also in the future, possibly certain electronic components.

Vladimir Shavel, Deputy Director – Chief Engineer of SJSC «BelGee», added: “An extended license was purchased from Geely for the crossover. This allowed us to produce in-depth localization of Belarusian and domestic auto components. Belarusian batteries, tires, and localized glass are already being installed. Now there is a prospect of working on more in-depth localization, such as disks, multimedia, stamping in the future».
