16.00-17.30 Key players in the logistics industry and market outlook
Moderator: Mr. Evgeniy Fadeev, Director General of John Gold
Since many companies have withdrawn from the Russian market, experts predict the recovery will take place in two areas: the development of parallel imports, and a re-orientation of Russia to the Asian, Indian and Turkish markets.
There are no large quantities of goods imported under the grey import model. Companies that resell goods to Russian retailers run the risk of being sanctioned by the brands.
Equipment retailers have already launched discussions about this issue. The volume of goods that retailers import under the grey import model may not be able to keep up with demand. The brands that left Russia do not plan to increase the volume of deliveries to countries where Russian stores buy goods. At the same time the excess stocks for example in Kazakhstan cannot cover the demand for goods in Russia.
Topics for discussion:
- New international intra-country logistics routes
- The subtleties of logistics in unstable times
- A search of new suppliers
- Quality control
Speakers: Ms. Valeria Batova, Key Account Development Manager, CDEK, Ms. Maria Zaytseva, Deputy General Director for Commerce of SberLogistics

Moderator: Mr. Sergey Pleshanov, Technical Director of Land Management Company
Grocery stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets are among the leaders in energy consumption among commercial real estate. The largest energy consumption in grocery stores falls on the cooling systems in counters (refrigerated display cases). Centralized refrigeration systems with multi-compressor units are usually designed to have a long service life.
The long-term and reliable operation of these systems is only possible with a careful assessment, as well as high-quality installation and maintenance.
Questions for discussion:
- Ensuring temperature regime in stores and distribution centres
- Opportunities to reduce costs while ensuring the adequate temperature regime in stores and distribution centres
- Monitoring the performance of refrigeration and other equipment
- Temperature control as the basis for maintaining product quality
Speakers: Ms. Elena Bakhar, Director General, “Eltris Group LTD”

Moderator: Mr. Alexey Blumkin, Vice President for Communications for the Union of Shopping Centres: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan
In Russia, there are more than 3,000 shopping centres in which air conditioning equipment is installed. Most often, medium and large shopping centres use cooling systems offered by manufacturers from the United States, Japan, Korea, Poland, Sweden, Turkey and Russia.
Russia is also the world’s most important market for thermal and electrical equipment where the heating season lasts 6 to 8 months. Shopping centres are among the largest consumers of heating equipment.
Because of sanctions, difficulties in the consumer sector, the withdrawal of Western brands and other factors, shopping centres have to adapt to challenges. At the same time, the need for maintenance and repair, supply of spare parts and installation of climate control equipment remains the same.
Questions for discussion:
- What happens with shopping malls: past, present, future
- Forecast for opening new shopping malls
Current issues in the maintenance of climate control
- equipment in the shopping centre
