Anatoly Nickolaevich Savenok — General Director of Open Joint Stock Company "Byelorussian Steel Works - management company of "Byelorussian Metallurgical Company" holding".
Anatoly Nickolaevich Savenok, year of birth 1963, Byelorussian, higher education. He graduated from Byelorussian Polytechnic Institute in 1989. The speciality is «Metallurgy, Equipment and Technology of Thermal Treatment of Metal». In 2008 he graduated with honours from Academy of Management under the President of the Republic of Belarus. The speciality ‘State Management of National Economy’.
Working biography of Anatoly Nickolaevich started from learning the basics of etching-plating job in Steel Wire Shop №2 at Byelorussian Steel Works. From the very beginning the young specialist showedgenuine interest in organization of production, quality of produced products. Acquiring knowledge, he was not afraid to put forward the ideas, aimed to enhance the working process and improve the final result. It was impossible to overlook this young, active man burning with work. Soon Anatoly Savenok became a foreman in thermal etching-and-plating section in Steel Wire Shop-2, senior foreman, deputy head of the shop, head of Steel Wire Shop-2. There were no pure chances or just luck in his career: recognition was being obtained in proportion to the forces and efforts made. In 2000 Anatoly Nickolaevich was advanced again, he was appointed to the position of deputy general director for steel cord and wire production. In this new capacity he carried on working with the same zeal, and another phase of prosperity came for steel cord and wire production at BMZ: the number of produced steel cord constructions increased and relations with the famous customers became stronger.
In 2009 A. N. Savenok was appointed to the position of general director of Production Association ‘Byelorussian Steel Works’ — general director of Republican Unitary Enterprise ‘Byelorussian Steel Works’. July 2013 he took office of general director of Open Joint Stock Company "Byelorussian Steel Works - management company of "Byelorussian Metallurgical Company" holding".
Within the working years in the company A. N. Savenok showed himself as competent and talented manager, able to give people challenging technical and production-related tasks, high economic targets and reach them.
The most massive upgrading in the history of Byelorussian Steel Works had been carried out under the direction of A. N. Savenok. Its main targets were: reach 3 mln tons/ year in steelmaking, enhance the quality and competitiveness of the downstream products, master new high-tech types of products which are in stable demand in domestic and external markets.
To achieve those results in 2014 number of important investment projects were implemented: intensification of steel melting in electric arc furnace №1 with upgrading of de-dusting system, comprehensive upgrading of continuous caster № 2. In order to ensure increase in productivity of steelmaking units, cost reduction when purchasing raw materials from outside producers, lime kiln №3 was put into operation. From 2012 pipe-finishing line №3 had been successfully operated. Nowadays the construction of new units for secondary metallurgy and upgrading of de-dusting plant №3 are carried out.
Under the direction of A. N. Savenok have almost been completed guaranty tests within the frameworks of the biggest investment project ‘Organization of production of rolled sections with construction of bar-and-wire rod mill’. Official start-up of new production facility was on September, 25, 2015 and the President of the Republic of Belarus A. G. Lukashenko participated in the event. Within the scope of establishing of joint ventures with attraction of direct foreign investments in 2015 were accomplished the following investment projects “Establishment of high-pressure hoses production in the Republic of Belarus” and “Construction of air-separating plant № 3”.
Open Joint Stock Company "Byelorussian Steel Works - management company of "Byelorussian Metallurgical Company" holding" as exporting enterprise is closely integrated into world economical processes and it is logical that existing situation had negative influence for the plant operation.
But even at the time of crisis situation in the world the plant has not stopped investment and innovation activities, increasing its technical level and improving manufacturing technique. Anatoly Nickolaevich being an experienced manager acknowledges the fact that high efficiency operation can be ensured only by means of innovative development of production. From the beginning of the year 2015 volume of investments in to fixed capital was 2683,4 bill. BRB.
Policy of the enterprise implemented by A. N. Savenok gave positive results and at the time when most of the enterprises of the Republic of Belarus had to decrease their output, the plant was able to reach rates of production volume growth by the set of representative products (Integrated financial statement) at the level 105,1% comparing to the level of 2014. Those rates of production volume growth were achieved without increase of stock resources as in order to compensate negative influence of market factors active policy of sales and destocking has being implemented.
In the hardest conditions of economic management and tough competition at the world markets A. N. Savenok as the manager is able to take in a good time all required actions to mobilize internal reserves, restructure liabilities, increase competitiveness of products and preserve staff in order to decrease consequences of macroeconomic situation.
A. N. Savenok takes part in science-research works carried out at the plant in order to master new types of products and introduce new technologies. Improvement of production, in its turn, facilitates that the product quality complies with the level set by the customers, who are the leaders in the world market: Continental, GoodYear, Michelin, PIRELLI, Manuli, Kelly Pipe Co., LLC, BGH Edelstahl, etc.
Under the direction of A. N. Savenok the company cooperates a lot with science-research and educational institutions in the Republic of Belarus and CIS countries.
