INTERVIEW: ‘I am going to transform our company’ – Severstal CEO

摘要

Alexander Shevelev, chief executive officer of Russian steelmaker Severstal, says that the company has changed its culture quite quickly and substantially to focus on being a solutions provider. In a recent interview, Fastmarkets asked Shevelev to explain that mission and to recall his path from the shop floor to the top of a company that employs 50,000 people. First, a few key numbers. Russian steelmaker and mining company Severstal produces 12 million tonnes of crude steel per year, 17 million tonnes of iron ore products - half as pellet and the rest as concentrate - and 4.8 million tonnes of coking coal concentrate.
