Today, a “Day of SIBUR’s Supplier” round table discussion was held within the framework of the business programme of the Tatarstan Oil, Gas, & Petrochemical Forum 2018. The event organised by the Tatarstan Mechanical Engineering Cluster (Naberezhnye Chelny) was attended by representatives of Tatarstan companies invited with the assistance from the Tatarstan Ministry of Industry and Trade.
At the beginning of the meeting, Deputy Minister Aleksey Savelchev noted that SIBUR was interested in working with Tatarstan enterprises also beyond the framework of the import substitution programme. For Tatarstan manufacturers, this is an opportunity to acquire new experience of cooperation with the large Russian petrochemical holding and to eventually expand their partnership opportunities, including those with European chemical companies.
At the event, representatives of SIBUR Holding presented corporate policies in the field of procurement, import substitution of materials and technologies used in the company. Senior Manager of SIBUR Holding Vladimir Kirillov said that such events were very useful for both the corporation and the manufacturers, because there was often an opinion on the market that it was almost impossible to become a SIBUR’s supplier. SIBUR is ready to bust this myth by conducting a constructive bilateral dialogue.
