According to a UAC press release, both
companies were officially registered with the Unified State Registry of Legal
Entities on June 1, 2022. It said UAC’s Board of Directors had previously
approved the merger of the two companies in November 2021. Rostec CEO Sergei
Chemezov said the restructuring completed an essential stage of UAC’s corporate
transformation.
However, the already strong and world-famous
Sukhoi and MiG brands will remain on the aircraft produced. Likewise,
well-known design schools will continue to be developed.
“UAC thus becomes not only the centre of the
UAC group company, but also an operating company that directly manages the
production and design offices, implements flight programs, and develops
advanced equipment,” said Chemezov.
Meanwhile, UAC CEO Yuri Slyusar stated that
the company would preserve other valuable designers and experts and continue to
develop future aircraft, including unmanned systems and hybrid solutions.
