Yakov Pavlovich Osadchiy and the first generation of pipe manufacturers created a solid foundation for the plant’s further development and new success stories. However the technologies may change, people are still the key to success both in Osadchiy’s days and today. I’m confident that the fellows and the students who gathered here today will be able to make their own contribution to the pipe industry’s growth. The main thing is to feel motivated to invest one’s talents and skills! ChelPipe Group needs young, proactive, well-educated employees,’ Alexander Fedorov said.
