The BelGee automobile plant stands as a prime example of modern industrial cooperation, representing Belarus's most successful foray into the mass production of passenger cars. Officially inaugurated in 2017, this strategic joint venture between the Belarusian government and the Chinese automotive giant Geely is optimally located between the cities of Borisov and Zhodino. Inside the state-of-the-art production halls, vehicles undergo full-cycle manufacturing, from the initial stamping of the body panels, through fully automated robotic painting, to final assembly. BelGee focuses primarily on the production of modern, well-equipped SUVs and sedans that appeal to consumers through an exceptional price-to-performance ratio. The factory heavily targets the export market, with the vast majority of its manufactured vehicles being shipped directly to Russia and other member nations of the Eurasian Economic Union.
