Victor Klochai biography

Metallurgy, automotive, public service, again metallurgy. So you can very schematically describe the path of the career of Viktor Klochai. Circle is closed? No, rather, continued with a new turn on a higher level, in every sense of the word. But there were no vacant engineering posts. It would seem, take what they offer. Moreover, the city is unfamiliar, the family that needs to be fed - wait until the opportunity to go to the converter workshop will appear.

The dream becomes a goal if something to achieve to achieve it, without fear of difficulties and barriers. And already at the age of 30 he was appointed the head of production. With any system - socialist or capitalist - result - the king and God of everything! The second "Klochai postulate" stems out of the first and says: the accepted business solution is worse than the wrong one.

Of course, he, as an entrepreneur, is always looking for options for increasing profits, new markets where you can apply the competencies available at enterprises. And I must say, quite successfully.

It was on Rupolimeta "that they began not only to introduce the methods of powder metallurgy, but also created their own production of powders. With the development of this direction, experts associate a change in the technological structure in mechanical engineering as a whole. Powdered metallurgy technologies are in demand in key sectors of industry - civil aircraft industry, general and energy engineering, shipbuilding, as well as at enterprises that produce a cutting tool for metalworking.

Photo: PJSC "Rupolim" project "Rupolimta" is a vivid example of import substitution: metal powders were previously almost bought abroad almost in full. In the fall of the year, a subsidiary of the Grankom plant, with the support of the Industry Development Fund, launched the largest complex in Russia for the production of metal powders and granules, as well as products from them.

And we also hope that colleagues will intensify the 3D-printing direction. It is one of the most promising. Achieving the goal is the third rule of Clochaus - "implementers" are needed. People who embody the decisions, such as himself: came to destroyed production and made it working and advanced. For example, from the Formash plant in Vyksa, when the Klochai team came there ten years ago, only the name and the launched, literally plundered territory remained.

A few years later, the company received an honorary standard for the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region for high results. But the profile of the plant - the production of crushing and sorting equipment - has nothing to do with metallurgical production, the main direction of the Rupolimet, and has. This year, the "Formash", like Rusospolim a little earlier, was included in the list of 55 system -forming enterprises of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

By the way, of the ten leaders of the Nizhny Novgorod companies nominated for the Prize "Best Young Industrialist of the Year" in the year, two are representatives of "Formash" and the vacuum metallurgy factory. Central Asia in Uzbekistan in the spring of this year was also a “shot”, the export capabilities of which were especially noted by Governor Gleb Nikitin. In principle, at the Kulebak Metallurgical Plant, around which the company “Rupolim” grew up, the team of Clochaus also had to overcome the consequences of the last decade of the XX century and the first years of the XXI: reduction of investment, an increase external debt, a crisis of non -payments but the plant developed an effective strategic development program.

As a result of its implementation, a steel-smelter complex, a special electrometallurgy workshop, blacksmith-press production, a radial forging workshop and a vacuum metallurgy plant, a testing center, and ring production production reached a new level. The new challenge is the level of challenges that the industry has encountered today is high and calls for everyone to think, ”Victor Klochai is sure.

Today we are talking about cardinal changes in real life and in the real sector of the economy. As a marketman, Victor Klochay advocates for customer orientation, that is, the release of demanded products. As a statesman is ready to work in directions beneficial to the country. On Severstal in E was the slogan, which sounded from the lips of the general director of Yuri Viktorovich Lipukhin.

He once said that our task is to "survive and increase." Moreover, “Umnocate” is a prerequisite, because just to survive and not move forward is like dying. And we are not going to die, ”says Victor Klocha. There are a lot of records in his work book - it was sent to where it was necessary to make quick and non -standard decisions, to master the new or raise the enterprise almost from the ruins.

It is interesting that in his labor biography, in fact, only two regions: he worked for 21 years in Cherepovets, 21 years old in the Nizhny Novgorod region. And continues to work successfully. The president set clear tasks for the country. We must sequentially implement them, gain the right pace, because the loss of pace is a loss of course. Help Victor Vladimirovich Klocha was born on June 27.He graduated with honors on the Donetsk Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Metallurgy of ferrous metals.

For 20 years he worked at the Cherepovets metallurgical plant. He worked as a vice-governor, first deputy chairman of the Government of the Nizhny Novgorod Region for the development of scientific, production and economic potential.
