Construction of two checkpoints was completed at the state site of SEZ “Kulibin” in Dzerzhinsk

The construction of two checkpoints has been completed at the state site of special economic zone (SEZ) “Kulibin” in Dzerzhinsk. The facilities are currently being equipped with video surveillance systems, as well as access control and management systems.

The state site occupies most of the total area of SEZ in Dzerzhinsk – 416 out of 724.7 ha. To date, work on gas and electricity supply networks has already been completed, while local treatment facilities and roads are nearing completion.

In addition, the construction of industrial production buildings is also underway, including the installation of utility networks, roofing, and the assembly of metal structures, reinforced concrete elements, and facade panels.

It is expected that several companies will begin building their production facilities at the state site of the special economic zone this year. Currently, 56 companies are residents of the SEZ “Kulibin”. Their projects can be viewed on the website: https://sezkulibin.ru/en.

The management company of SEZ “Kulibin” is the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation.

“The checkpoints are the first thing that visitors to the state site see, so considerable attention was paid to their design, which follows the overall style of the SEZ “Kulibin”. In general, infrastructure development for our residents is progressing at a brisk pace, and we plan to complete it this year,” said Igor Ishchenko, Director General of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation.

It should be recalled that special economic zone “Kulibin” was established in May 2020 on the territory of the urban district of Dzerzhinsk. Today, the Dzerzhinsk part of SEZ “Kulibin” covers an area of 724 ha and includes the state site, as well as private sites operated by DPO “Plastik”, “Oka Polymer”, and “Sintez OKA”. The private sites are already equipped with the necessary infrastructure. In November 2025, the Government of Russia signed a resolution to expand the SEZ territory by another 117 ha through the inclusion of a site in the city of Bor. The total area of the SEZ “Kulibin” now amounts to 842 ha.

The preferential conditions of SEZ allow residents to reduce profit tax rates from 25% to 2% in the first five years, to 5% in the following five years, and to 14.5% thereafter. Residents are also exempt from property tax, land tax, and transport tax. The profit tax benefit becomes effective starting from the tax period in which the resident first generates a profit.
