LEMARC and Raketa
Technologies with a Russian soul:
LEMARC becomes an official partner of Raketa Watch Factory
LEMARC, a new brand of motor, transmission and industrial oils, has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with one of Russia’s oldest manufacturers, Raketa Watch Factory.
As an official partner of Raketa Watch Factory, the Russian brand LEMARC will supply the enterprise with innovative lubricants for factory equipment. The cooperation agreement was signed on June 1, 2024.
The agreement also covers cooperation in implementing strategic projects, marketing campaigns, communication support and information exchange.
The LEMARC-Raketa partnership is an excellent example of mutually beneficial cooperation between Russian businesses facilitating capacity building and broadening their horizons.
In the past, Raketa worked with a French company, whose capacities are now being used by LEMARC. As the lubricants market has seen profound changes over the past two years, we are happy to welcome a new actor whose product quality and services could easily compete with producers that have withdrawn from the market.
About Raketa Watch Factory
Petrodvorets Watch Factory was founded in 1721 by decree of Peter the Great. In 1961, the Raketa brand was created in honor of the first human flight into space, manned by Yuri Gagarin. Thanks to its in-house mechanical parts and designs suffused with the DNA of three centuries of Russian history, this Russian brand has gained worldwide acclaim. Raketa’s collections have been inspired mainly by heroic professions and exciting events. The factory has the world’s largest archive of watch designs, which are still being used for all contemporary collections. Raketa is one of the rare few brands to produce all of its mechanical parts, from A to Z, at its own factory. This even includes the most sophisticated part: the hairspring. Made from a secret alloy with a precision reaching 0.5 microns (0.0005 mm), this delicate hairspring is the beating heart of the watch. Only a few watchmakers in the world master this technology.
