Tsaturov devotes much of attention to personnel management, to his workers' training and updating. Partly because of that, the factory output is outstanding, altogether with its modern solutions of the current problems and its quality, matching the European standards.

But among the factory output items traditional products are kept, such as - the pilot cutters of 14550-Project and for staff - travelling cutters, having highly recommended themselves in the ports of Russia, other CIS countries, Cuba and other. During recent past years, active work has been done at the factory in connection with manufacturing preparations for the output of the spectrum of technical functions ships, such as -- petroleum garbage collectors, cutters for the installment of boom barriers to ban petroleum stains' spread, service road cutters. With this purpose, the reconstruction of sea-side works and engineering arrangements have been accomplished in considerable volume, reorganization and equipping of storage manufacturing is on.

"Pella" factory is the only one in Russia that produces plasma- and gas-cutting machines ("Pella") for automated cutting of metal-roll sheets (the width of the sheets cut by plasma is from 4 to 80 mm, and the ones cut by gas is up to 220 mm).

Traditionally the factory is on-demand production of the painting devices of no-air dispersion, including its newly developed "Effect-1", that allows to put highly-viscous enamel-painting materials without heating them, under the pressure of 400 atmospheres.
