In 1992, in the course of the
all-round conversion process, Vladislav V. Tetyukhin was elected the Director
General of VSMPO. He has developed the bold strategy for the company integration
into the global economy to ensure maintaining of the unique production under
conditions of extreme instability of the domestic business system. We could rely
only on our own strength: take credits, make investments into development and
reconstruction of production in accordance with market requirements.
In August 1993, the Quality
Assurance System (QAS), introduced at VSMPO, was certified by the German company
TUV-CERT. At the same time, certification work was carried out with other
European and American aircraft and engine building companies: Boeing, Airbus,
General Electric, SNECMA, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney and others. As of
January 1,
2003, VSMPO
held 185 certificates for all the main production lines.
A significant factor enabling the
company to maintain its position at the world market is the close partnership
with JSC AVISMA (Berezniki, Perm region) – the world’s largest
sponge titanium producer. |
