INTERPIPE announced the appointment of Valentin Makarenko as the Director of INTERPIPE VTORMET


Mr. Makarenko has been working at INTERPIPE for 2 years. Previously, he held the position of Commercial Director of INTERPIPE VTORMET.

His main tasks in the new position are to organize the efficient operation of the plant and provide INTERPIPE STEEL with the required volume of raw materials.

Mr. Makarenko has 20 years of experience in the scrap metal business. He is one of the most authoritative specialists in the scrap metal market of Ukraine. Before joining INTERPIPE, he was the head of the supervisory board of the Ukrainian Association of Secondary Metals (UAVtorMet); for 5 years, he worked at Ukrmetko LTD, and before that at Euro Finance LTD.

"Scrap procurement is a key business for the vertically integrated production of INTERPIPE. Work in this area is complicated by the shortage of raw materials in the country. With the appointment of Mr. Makarenko, we are returning to a management model where the entire scrap metal business - both procurement and scrap processing - have a single subordination. We believe that at the moment such a management system will be more effective. This appointment is one of the steps towards forming the management structure of the steel division," comments Fadi Khraibe, CEO of INTERPIPE.

Gennady Shevchenko, who held this position earlier, has completed his cooperation with INTERPIPE.
