The Polymetallic Holding Group Seligdar (MOEX: SELG) was included in the inaugural ranking of scientific and technological development among largest Russian companies, prepared by the rating agency AK&M. Seligdar ranked 14th out of 42 participating companies and entered the group classified as having a “high level of scientific and technological development”.

The ranking is based on two groups of indicators: quantitative metrics characterising the scale of scientific and technological activities, and qualitative indicators reflecting the quality of organisation of the scientific and technological process. The assessment covered the level of scientific and technological development and technological maturity of companies, their capacity to generate and implement innovations, as well as their contribution to the country’s technological sovereignty. According to AK&M, the total volume of research and development expenditure by the forty largest corporations in 2024 amounted to 17.7% of the country’s total R&D spending in the socio-economic sphere. The agency particularly highlighted the consistent year-on-year increase in Seligdar’s R&D expenditure.

In 2025, the rating agency RAEX awarded Seligdar a diploma as a laureate in the special nomination “For Exemplary Disclosure in the Annual Report of the Significance of Its Own Research Base for the Company’s Development”.

Sergey Tatarinov, Chief Executive Officer of Seligdar PJSC, commented:

“The high assessment of Seligdar directly reflects our systematic efforts to integrate science and technology into production processes. A key element of this system is the Holding Group’s Scientific and Technical Council — a permanent collegiate body responsible for shaping the technological development roadmap and for analysing and selecting promising projects. We regard innovation not as isolated initiatives but as the foundation of the long-term competitiveness and efficiency of our business.”
