In the Urals, they called the situation in the local metallurgical industry with a crisis

Participants in the meeting of the Presidential President of the Russian Federation in the Urals of Igor Kholmansky with the leaders of metallurgical and machine -building companies of the region demanded from the Russian government immediate protectionist measures. The reason for the statements of the crisis in the heavy industry of the Urals was the stop of the Zlatoust Metzavod, threatening to turn into the dismissal of more than 4,000 people.

The Kholmansky envoy admitted that the second wave of the economic crisis is covered by the Russian economy, and the Urals would not be an exception. Indexes of industrial production are negative, demand is reduced, and companies are forced to "optimize" costs. For frequent optimization, it is poured into a reduction in the number of groups and hot spots, such as the Chrysostom today.

The representative of the president was supported by the governor of the Chelyabinsk region Mikhal Yurevich. "Engineering, metalworking and metallurgy form the basis of the regional economy and in these sectors there is a significant decline. The index of industrial production will be not more than 97 percent, while the reduction was also at the end of 2012. About 80 percent. "

Reductions are already scheduled for seven metallurgical enterprises and nineteen engineering plants.

Meanwhile, while the big bosses report on successful negotiations with potential buyers of the Zlatoust Metzavod, calling either rostekhnology or Uralvagonzavod, the city administration of the Chrysostom sells metallurgical equipment to ensure the payment of wages.

"From the 52 crystallizers available at the enterprise, it was decided to sell nine, which were already used for electric lane overflowering (this is shifting equipment as a technological equipment for the production of electric strisher metal). The sale of nine crystallizers is not a hindrance for the operation of ZMZ. As the specialists note, without them the metzer will be able to work, even if the furnaces of electric lane overlap are at least for at least a whole. years.

The Zlatoust plant, most likely, will be the "first swallow" of the economic crisis of the Urals. At the exhibition that was recently in Moscow, Mikhail Yurevich told Dmitry Medvedev that agriculture was released in the first place in the Ural economy, which ensured most of the budget revenues in the first half of 2013. And at this time, the difficult situation developed on the “ChTZ-Uraltrak”, the Urals and the Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant.
