       Not long ago a group of French businessmen visited some Russian plants
where press equipment is produced.
       Yuri Orlov, a correspondent of one of the Russian newspapers, met
M. Octon, a French businessman, at a press making plant and asks him to
answer a few questions.


Or.:    When was the first Russian press bought by your company?
Oc.:    It was in 1995 at the International Fair in Paris. A few presses were
        displayed on the Russian stand. We were particularly interested in a 160
        ton press. The next day we bought it. Since that time we have been
        regular buyers of Russian press equipment. One of our new plants is
        completely equipped with Soviet presses.
Or.:    What attracts French customers in Russian presses?
Oc.:    Russian presses are reliable in operation, they are of excellent quality and
        the performance is efficient.
Or.:    Are you going to place some more orders for Russian presses?
Oc.:    Yes, certainly. We are going to order a few presses of a mew model. I’m
        sure large contracts will be concluded with Russia in the future.
Or.:    What are your impressions of your trip?
Oc.:    Most pleasant.
