Unlock Production Growth Without Locking Up Your Capital. Modernize Now, Pay Strategically.
The decision to invest in a new packaging or filling line is a commitment to your company’s future—greater efficiency, new capabilities, and expanded market reach. However, the traditional upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX) model can strain cash reserves, delay critical upgrades, or force compromises on the scope of your project. In today’s dynamic market, agility is funded by smart financial planning.
The LOCUS Group empowers your strategic investments through comprehensive, flexible leasing and financing solutions. We partner with multiple specialized leasing companies and offer direct installment plans to make acquiring advanced technology—from a single vertical packaging machine to a complete turnkey filling line—financially astute and operationally immediate. This shift towards flexible financing is a hallmark of a mature, sophisticated market, and we are at the forefront of bringing these «civilized rules of the game» to the packaging equipment sector.
We understand that every business has unique cash flow patterns and strategic goals. Therefore, we do not adhere to rigid, one-size-fits-all payment schemes. For every project valued over 1 million RUB, we commit to crafting individualized terms. Whether your motivation is to conserve upfront cash, align payments with revenue from the new line, or optimize your tax position, we will collaborate to structure a plan that turns equipment acquisition from a capital hurdle into a strategic lever for growth.

Two Strategic Paths to Ownership: Understanding Leasing and Installment Plans
We offer two primary avenues to acquire equipment, each with distinct advantages tailored to different business objectives.
Equipment Leasing: The Strategic Operational Expense (OPEX) Model
Leasing has become the standard for acquiring agricultural, oil & gas, and industrial equipment. It is now a powerful, growing option for packaging machinery, offering significant fiscal and operational benefits.
How It Works: A leasing company (lessor) purchases the equipment from LOCUS Robotics and leases it to you (lessee) for a fixed monthly term. At the end of the term, you often have the option to purchase the equipment for a nominal residual value, renew the lease, or return it.
Key Advantages for Your Business:
Capital Conservation: Eliminates or drastically reduces the large initial down payment, preserving your working capital for other critical investments like marketing, R&D, or inventory.
Improved Cash Flow Management: Fixed, predictable monthly payments make budgeting easier and align equipment costs with the productivity and revenue it generates.
Tax & Accounting Benefits: Lease payments are typically treated as a pre-tax operating expense (OPEX), which can simplify accounting. In many jurisdictions, this allows for accelerated depreciation and full VAT (Value-Added Tax) recovery, improving your net cost position.
Access to Better Technology: Leasing can enable you to acquire a more advanced, higher-capacity system than might be possible with an outright purchase, keeping you technologically competitive.
Our Role: We actively monitor offers from numerous leasing companies. Crucially, we partner with firms that have specific experience in technological and packaging equipment, ensuring they understand the asset’s value and lifecycle, which leads to more favorable terms for you.
Direct Installment Payment Plans: Flexible In-House Financing
For clients who prefer a direct path to ownership with structured payments, we offer customized installment plans.
How It Works: You purchase the equipment directly from LOCUS Robotics, but instead of paying 100% upfront, we agree on a payment schedule. This typically involves an initial advance payment followed by a series of installments that conclude with the transfer of full title.
Key Advantages for Your Business:
Simplified Procurement: One contract directly with your equipment supplier, eliminating the third-party lessor and streamlining the process.
Ultimate Flexibility: Terms are highly negotiable. We can tailor the advance payment percentage, installment amounts, and payment schedule (e.g., monthly, quarterly) to match your project’s cash flow profile and commissioning milestones.
Faster Implementation: Often quicker to arrange than third-party leasing, accelerating your path to installation.
Our Approach: The specific advance and term are based on the total value and configuration of the equipment. We treat each request as a unique partnership opportunity.
The Rise of Flexible Financing: A Sign of Market Maturity
The growing popularity of equipment leasing in our sector is not a trend; it’s an evolution. Widespread adoption of leasing and factoring schemes is a clear indicator of a market transitioning to more established, client-friendly commercial practices. It signals that businesses are making strategic, long-term investments in automation and are using sophisticated financial tools to optimize those investments.
As your partner, we add critical value in this complex landscape:
Expert Navigation: The Russian market has many leasing companies with attractive rates, but few have deep experience with custom technological equipment. We guide you to the right partners.
Individualized Structuring: Our promise is a lack of rigid schemes. We are always open to coordinating individual conditions for both deferred payment and payment schedules.
Holistic Project View: We can integrate a Trade-In of your old equipment with a new Leasing agreement, creating a seamless financial and operational transition.
Take the Next Step Toward Financed Growth
Starting the conversation is straightforward and carries no obligation.
Define Your Project: Have a general idea of the equipment you need (e.g., a liquid filling line for 5L containers, a vertical pouch packer).
Contact Us: Reach out via phone, email, or the website form below. Indicate your interest in exploring financing options.
Receive a Proposal: We will provide a technical-commercial proposal for the equipment and, in parallel, present 1-2 optimized financing scenarios (leasing via our partner or a direct installment plan) for your review.
Select & Implement: Choose the path that best fits your strategy, and we will manage the coordination with the leasing company or set up your payment schedule.
