Dear current and retired employees of the metal industry of Tatarstan! On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan and on my personal behalf, I congratulate you on your professional holiday, the Day of Metallurgist!
In the republic’s industrial sector, an important role is played by the metal industry, represented by enterprises that manufacture products in compliance with high international standards. Our metal companies operate across the entire republic: in Almetyevsk and Zelenodolsk, Naberezhnye Chelny, Kukmor, and Kazan.
Tatarstan metallurgists are facing today serious and multifaceted tasks. These are the increase in labour productivity through the introduction of lean production tools, digital technology, and product diversification within the framework of the Increasing Labour Productivity and Supporting Employment national project, which would significantly increase the competitiveness of enterprises in the industry.
Today, metallurgy is experiencing harsh challenges of the crisis, and I would like to wish everyone who has tied their lives with metal, fortitude and optimism, confidence in the future, and a full appreciation of your hard work. We sincerely wish you all health and happiness, and may the times of instability quickly give way to the times of new development and prosperity of the industry!
Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Albert Karimov
