UrBC, Chelyabinsk, June 14, 2019. Chelyabinsk Pipe Rolling Plant (ChelPipe) got audited successfully by Gazprom as the reliable produce supplier for the company, ChelPipe’s press service reports.

The audit was focused on the plant’s primary business processes and the production departments’ performance. Upon the completion of the procedure, ChelPipe’s integrated management system got re-certified as fully compliant with the latest version of STO Gazprom 9001-2018 standard within the framework of InterGazCert voluntary certification system.

One of the certification criteria the auditors looked into was the plant’s business reputation index, as indicative of the level of trust the business community and customers have in the company. This is a factor that helps customers minimize their risks when landing contracts and select a reliable supplier based on their ratings. In 2019, Gazprom-authorized experts from the Russian Register Certification Association gave ChelPipe’s business reputation a very good estimate.

‘Gazprom has been one of our key partners for many years now. We supply the company with large-diameter pipes and work jointly on science and tech research projects centered around meeting the fuel and energy industry’s need for high quality produce. Our Reliable Supplier status getting prolonged by Gazprom proves once again that ChelPipe Group has chosen the right development vector within the framework of our customer-oriented transformation strategy,’ says Director-General at the Group’s pipe manufacturing division Boris Kovalenkov.
