FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY MODEL

Workshops on blacksmithing have always been our core activity. During the pandemic, we shifted profile to producing medium-sized wrought-iron interior decoration items for suburban houses. Our products are sold on the Asian online marketplace, pinkoi.com, previously worked with etsy.com.

On August 17, 2022, we opened the “FORGE” Creative Industries Agency (autonomous non-profit organization) to be able to receive grant support. In addition, we monitor available measures of state support in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra (subsidies, reimbursements of costs, grants for entrepreneurs).
