In September 2016, «katusha», «by the arm» with its godparents, the IT Systems Group of Companies, entered the «big world» for the first time. The project, its partners and participants were presented at the stand of the SC «IT Systems», as well as its first material embodiment – the mass-dimensional model of the first Russian printer.

The first Russian printer «katusha» aroused a great interest among the visitors of the exhibition «Import substitution-2016», especially among representatives of major Russian organizations.

For three days the stand was visited by more than 1000 people.

The most common questions were: «When can I buy the first lot?» «How much will it cost?» «Are all components of Russian production?»

This is not surprisingly, after all, as more than 200 guests of the stand were representatives of customers who already provided pre-order for 2 years of «katusha’s» production.

Visitors asked their questions, the authors of «katusha» – their own. Based on the results of the survey, it became obvious – the market is really waiting for the first Russian MFD!

Among the most significant factors that attract attention to «katusha», the respondents indicated:

• – 81% – a solid ruble total cost of the device ownership;
• – 75% – sufficient functional characteristics for the company;
• – 68% – design (such a high score for this item was quite pleasant);
• – 62% – relatively compact sizes for devices of medium and high performance classes.

High interest in «katusha» was confirmed by the results of the exhibition and its organizers – the IT Systems Group of Companies was awarded with the «Import substitution – 2016» Diploma.
