Rostec ( rus, Ростех, p=, r=Rostekh), officially the State Corporation for Assistance to Development, Production and Export of Advanced Technology Industrial Product Rostec (russian: Государственная корпорация по содействию разработке, производству и экспорту высокотехнологичной промышленной продукции «Ростех») and formerly Rostekhnologii (russian: Ростехнологии, literally "Russian Technologies"), is a Russian State corporation (Russia), state-owned defense Conglomerate (company), conglomerate headquartered in Moscow.
Established in 2007, the organization comprises about 700 enterprises, which together form 14 holding companies: eleven in the Defense industry of Russia, defense-industry complex and three in civil sectors. Rostec's organizations are located in 60 constituents of the Russian Federation and supply goods to over 70 countries worldwide. The organization is headed by Sergey Chemezov, appointed to the position by Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
The 2014 EU sanctions listing for Sergey Chemezov describes how Rostec subsidiaries supported Russia's annexation of Crimea.
On 23 November 2007, President of Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed federal law No. 270 to establish a State corporation (Russia), state corporation named Rostekhnologii, which was previously passed by the State Duma on 9 November and passed by the Federation Council (Russia), Federation Council on 16 November.
Later on 10 July 2008, newly elected Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that transfers 443 struggling enterprises to the ownership under Rostekhnologii. Out of these acquired assets, 30% of such enterprises were in pre-crisis and crisis condition, 28 entities in bankruptcy proceedings, 17 had no business operations, and 27 had lost part of their assets or faced a material risk of such loss, with all facing a total debt of Russian ruble, RUB630 billion. In addition, these enterprises had worn out fixed assets, dilapidated production chains, and poor management.
After the acquisition, structural reforms were made, helping the enterprises emerge from their financial struggles with a 20%–30% increase in production growth, five times the national average. Most of the profits were acquired by Rostekhnologii, which 80% of it was from 20% of Rostekhnologii's assets. The 20% included the titanium monopoly VSMPO-AVISMA, helicopter manufacturers Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, Mil and Kamov, AvtoVAZ, and KamAZ. This in turn brought executives of some companies in conflict with each other, such as the case with Mil and Kamov in which they refuse to communicate with each other. As a result, Rostekhnologii had to work with the two companies so they can cooperate with each other.
On 21 December 2012, Rostekhnologii rebranded itself as Rostec to make the corporation more open to the world. Rostec also featured a new logo, an open square symbolizing a window to the world and a focus frame, as well a new slogan "Partner in development" and implemented changes in its corporate governance structure. The corporation spent $1.5 million for rebranding. The corporate brand, which was launched in late 2012, is currently one of Russia's 15 most valuable brands and has a value similar to that of major companies such as Rosneft and Rostelecom.
On 16 July 2014, as a result of Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present), Russian intervention in Ukraine and Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, Russian annexation of Crimea, Rostec was one of the companies that was Economic sanctions, sanctioned by the Presidency of Barack Obama, Obama administration. Sergey Chemezov, current Chief executive officer, CEO of Rostec, was one of the individuals targeted by the United States, United States (U.S.) and the European Union, European Union (E.U.), whose visa was banned and assets froze by the E.U.. Rostec's access to U.S. Bond market, debt markets was also limited. Rostec was forced to rethink its strategy for its holding companies.
In December 2015, Rostec's supervisory board approved its development strategy through 2025. According to the strategy, Rostec intends to change the Russian economic model by putting less emphasis on Arms industry, weaponry, aviation components, and software and more emphasis on electronics, telecommunications, robotics, and other High tech, high-tech industries. This in turn would diversify the Economy of Russia, Russian economy, increasing the share of high-tech civilian products and non-primary exports.
It was reported in late 2022 that Rostec had greatly increased the production of armored vehicles and ammunition in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The supervisory board, the management board, and the General Director are all appointed by the President of Russia.
