In the summer of 2018, this strategy was presented to the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade.

3- Compilation of the document of research, production and technology of pumps required by the oil industry
Considering the country's increasing need for standard and customized pumps and the unregulated import of this product, which is contrary to the principle of self-sufficiency and maximum use of domestic production capacity, the pump working group of Setsa Association decided to, with the efforts of a group of managers and consultants and pump industry informants to compile the pump strategy document.
This document, which was finalized in 2011, by categorizing different pumps, examined the state of design and production capacity within each category, and finally identified the strengths and weaknesses for the design and manufacture of all types of industrial pumps. This document, after being presented to the Deputy Minister of Industries at the time, became the basis for decisions and regulating the import and ordering of pumps to domestic pump manufacturers, and it is considered one of the most successful movements of self-welders and trade unions in order to support the interests of domestic manufacturers.
