The South Urals Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded to create the conditions for free enterprise across the Chelyabinsk region — and has grown into a standing institution of regional business.
Foundation
Established in January 1992 by major Chelyabinsk-region enterprises to build the region's industrial and trade infrastructure — a non-state, non-profit union of business.
Publications
Began publishing the full-colour Business Messenger magazine and the Express Inform bulletin, still in print today.
World Chambers Congress
Placed third at the World Chambers Congress in Quebec for Best International Project — a first for a Russian chamber of commerce.
Asia-Pacific recognition
Named Best Local Chamber in the Big Chamber Category by the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers (CACCI) in Kuala Lumpur. See certificates →
The region's chamber
Unites more than 610 member enterprises — from private entrepreneurs to large industry — through 17 committees, commissions and councils; maintains representations in China, France and Germany and 12 offices across the region; and holds over 50 cooperation agreements with state and municipal authorities.
