ABOUT THE GOLD OF ZLATOUST GROUP
Hello! My name is Maria Shepeleva. In the city of Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk region, I am the owner of the Admiral Company and lead the Gold of Zlatoust Group. My team and I are gunsmiths, and we also create prints and luxury gifts made of steel, gold, silver, and precious stones. I am one of those Russian women who were not afraid to take the helm of men's business. In 2015,
THE HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY IN NUMBERS
highly qualified craftsmen in the state
gifts are received by our clients
customers became our clients on the recommendation of friends
It is important for me to be not just a person who has achieved success in personal growth. I want to be someone who has been able to unite people to achieve significant social goals and leave a bright mark on social and cultural life.
I believe that the development of such a unique art as gunsmithing is precious. As it is a business card not only of the southern Urals but also of the country's heritage as a whole.
Zlatoust gunsmiths companies are unique and have gold medals for product quality. Each of them has the sole technological process. The exhibits are in museums in Russia and around the world. To admire the Golden blades and engravings, large international delegations come to Zlatoust.
In 2019, we created the Gold of Zlatoust Group to promote the arms industry on the world's markets.
Our company aims to expand our business on the market not only for collector's weapons but also for household, hunting, tourist knives, exclusive gifts and souvenirs. The skill of Zlatoust craftsmen has already "disarmed" our colleagues from China. Within the framework of the SCO and BRICS 2020 summits, negotiations were held on the creation of a joint production and trade organization.
Zlatoust has the opportunity to be a world-class weapons brand. Not only from the point of view of history. And given the experience and opportunity to cooperate with China, to be one of the leaders in knife production, to play an important role in employment and sales and to determine volumes and liquidity. To do this, I see a clear task: the country's leaders in this segment must turn from competitors into partners!
The mission of the Gold of Zlatoust Group:
I am one of those Russian women who were not afraid to take the helm of men's business. In 2015, I managed to gather brilliant gunsmiths at one site. Thus was born the production of Zlatoust handmade treasures. Our primary weapon is the transformation of metal into a real work of art.
Therefore, I consider the formation of a rare and talented team to be one of my main professional achievements. These are people from the dynasties of gunsmiths who preserve and multiply centuries-old traditions from generation to generation.
In my company, such stars as Olga Wolferz, an artist from the German family of the founders of Zlatoust art, work. The secret of steel engraving was discovered in the 18th century. Our goal is to remain faithful to those rare handmade technologies carefully, so the result of work is worth its weight in gold.
Exclusive works of my team were presented in honor of the centenary of the largest Russian organizations, such as JSC Rusgeology and the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center, for the centenary of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, military intelligence and border service. Unique items of our company have been added to many family funds of iconic personalities.
We create art that becomes history!
