The labor collective was congratulated by the partners of the enterprise and representatives of the authorities.
BVK was established in 2013 by KONAR together with the Italian company Cividale S.p.A. This is a production facility that has no analogues in Russia in terms of the quality of cast complex large-sized body blanks and steel ingots.
BVK became the first enterprise of a new generation that appeared on the territory of the former plant Stankomash. Nowadays there is an industrial park with a full cycle of machinery production – from casting of blanks to assembly and testing of complex units.
By its first 10th anniversary, the plant achieved high results. The products manufactured by the enterprise are used in many branches of industrial activity, such as oil and gas industry, shipbuilding, power engineering, mining and metallurgical industry.
– When KONAR started the gate valve project in 2009, I realized that without our own high-class foundry, we would not have a competitive advantage in the market. And our goal is to be the best in everything. And I decided to become a foundry worker, – said Valery Bondarenko, Head of KONAR Industrial Group, addressing the employees. – Thanks to the support of my relatives, a brilliant technological partner and a professional team, we came to success. Today, BVK is on par with the best plants in Russia and the world. Just the other day we sent our development plan till 2048 to the Government of the Russian Federation. I have full confidence in its implementation.
The ceremonial event on the occasion of the company’s anniversary took place in the large conference hall of KONAR. The best employees of the company were honored by the management of KONAR Industrial Group and representatives of the authorities.
– Three years ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Chelyabinsk the honorary title City of Labor Valor for the contribution of Chelyabinsk labor collectives to the victory in the Great Patriotic War. But when we see how our modern enterprises are developing, we realize that the concept of Labor Valor is applicable to Chelyabinsk even today, – noted Pavel Ryzhy, Minister of Industry, New Technologies and Natural Resources of Chelyabinsk region, in his welcoming speech. – What BVK has done in 10 years is unbelievable.
