- 2. Project overview
Investment target:
Creation of a specialized technology for
manufacture of wear-resistant dosing pumps.
The core of such a dosing pump is
represented by a pump element produced
from a synthetic single crystal sapphire.
The production will be consumed by
pharmaceutical companies in the Russian
Federation and abroad.
Two Russian patents have been received.
Two more Russian and international patents for an invention are planned to be received in
the nearest future.
Estimation for necessary investment = 160 mln. RUR (approx. 4 mln. EUR)

- 3. Project development
Project development
At first trial design for a dosing pump on the basis of a pump element was produced. Then
sapphire pump element was successfully patented and a project team was formed. Initial tests
and a close research of dosing pumps were conducted and as the result the shortcomings were
revealed as dosing pumps needed additional research and development.
Today the project assumes carrying out further research and development activities and
scientific laboratory study for the purpose of design improvement of the dosing pumps form
and analysis of its clinical properties, and also for the purpose of a scientific proof that using
sapphire dosing pumps allows the medical products to stay chemically pure till the end and
that their period of storage increases considerably.

- 4. Product presentation
Sapphire dosing pump is a casting dosing device that is related to special equipment
accessories for exact filling of medical products into ampules, bottles and other capacities.
A dosing pump consists of a metal part and a pump element that is entirely produced from a
single crystal sapphire.
The technology of implementation of
single crystal sapphire in a dosing
pump is striking and innovative!
Range of application:
Main consumers are pharmaceutical companies that are involved in the dispensing process.
Product can be applied in other industries such as food, chemical, petrochemical, perfumery,
cosmetic, car engineering and aviation industries.

- 5. Advantages of sapphire crystals
1. Huge wear resistance (life time up to 25 years).
2. Sapphire isn't toxic, doesn't cause changes to central nervous system, liver, kidneys,
protein metabolism, lipid exchange, general reactivity. Sapphire doesn't possess cancer
genic, mutagen, embiotronic or any other types of remote effect. The material is absolutely
biocompatible, it has been proven by pathologist morphologic and toxicological tests.
3. It is stable towards hostile environment and can maintain boiling concentrated acids. Due
to sapphire chemical purity of 99,99.
4. Sapphire dosing pumps allows to increase period of medical products storage in many
times due to the material’s high quality and lack of admixtures.

- 6. Key product markets
Russian Federation
The Russian market of pharmaceutical industry is only starting to develop, the share of the Russian
pharmaceutical industry production is 0,03% in the world.
On the other hand, the Russian pharmaceutical market has high growth potential and increases on the average
15% annually.
Annual market size for consumption of metal, ceramics or glass dosing pumps in Russia is 8400 units of
different brands, models and modifications. At the average price for a dosing pumps of 185 000 RUR this
market is at least 1 554 mln. RUR.
CIS countries
1st target: Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia
In the pharmaceutical market of the CIS there are about 700 pharmaceutical enterprises present and they are
engaged in pouring of medical products. Annual market size for dosing pumps is 16 800 units (at least 3 108
mln. RUR).
EU countries
1st target: Italy, Switzerland and Germany
Annual consumption of dosing pumps is around 30 000 items (185 mln. USD).
USA and Canada
40% of world production of medical products.
At least 55 000 dosing pumps a year (340 mln. USD).

- 8. Risks
Operational risks
• Sharp rise in prices for the electric power and materials (metal, sapphire) is partially leveled
by low share of these expenses in the prime cost.
• Risk of breakage of the equipment in the course of production - possible solution at
emergence of a similar situation would be in equipment repair in the shortest terms; the
strategic stock of production is used, services of subcontractors for repair equipment work
are used).
Marketing risk
• The risk of similar production emergence is estimated as low (diamond has similar
characteristics, but its use is not favorable from economic point of view).
• Attempts of piracy are possible and may result into illegal production and usage of dosing
pumps. In the case of piracy attempts the company will initiate judicial proceedings.
• Risk of a shortage of necessary number of clients owing to uncertainty and lack of
information about the production in the market. The risk is leveled by large-scale marketing
actions and presence of highly skilled and experienced sales managers in the company.
• Limitation of the Russian market of enterprises – consumers of dosing pumps (it is leveled
by the fact that the company is willing to work in the foreign markets as well)
