Having worked in the custom manufacturing machinery business a long time I would guess that they ironically cheaped out but purchasing all their equipment overseas.
There are extremely knowledgeable machine builders in the USA and Canada (think rust belt) that have been building equipment like this since the 1950s (think automotive sway bars, coil springs, etc), but over the last decade you see a lot companies trying to purchase their equipment from former eastern block countries or China to save money.
Nothing against Belarus, but I guarantee there are USA machine builders that could have got this up and running (for more money of course).
- inglor_cz 3y ago"Nothing against Belarus" Except that it is now a satellite country of Russia and the relations of the West with Russia are at the worst point in 40 years or so. Trying to detach from China in order to create a new failure point in Belarus does not seem very wise.
