History and activities

Today, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works is a modern highly profitable enterprise, one of the 20 largest steel companies in the world. It is the largest in Russia metallurgical complex with a full production cycle.

OJSC MMK produces the widest, to date, range of steel products among enterprises Russian Federation and CIS countries. Magnitka is the only Russian manufacturer of high-quality cold-rolled strip and tinplate. In terms of sales volumes, OAO MMK has the best performance among Russian metallurgical enterprises.

June 1743. On the banks of the Yaik River, now the Urals, the Magnitnaya fortress was founded.

1747. Miners of the industrialist I. B. Tverdyshev carried out a pit pit on Mount Magnitnaya, as a result of which the breeder announces that he has found a mine "near the Yaik River, following the example of a distance of eight versts from it, also from the mouth of the Upper Kizilu River, eight versts to a mountain called Atichi three places."

1759. Ore mining began on Mount Magnitnaya for a plant built on the Tirlyanka River. 1912 After laying the first 12 wells and new research, Professor A. I. Zavaritsky reveals 87 million tons of high-quality iron ore on Mount Magnitnaya.

1917 The first magnetometric survey of Magnetic Mountain.

January 1929. At a joint meeting of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and the Council of Labor and Defense, a decision was made to start construction of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant. By order of the Supreme Council of National Economy of the USSR, Magnitostroy was created - the largest construction project Soviet Union. March 10, 1929. The first builders arrived at Magnetic Mountain. June 30, 1929. The first train arrived at Magnitogorskaya station. From now on, this date is considered the birthday of the city of Magnitogorsk. July 1, 1930. 14 thousand workers at the construction site of the Magnitogorsk metallurgical giant laid the foundation stone for the 1st blast furnace.

November 1, 1930. The construction of the dam is completed. The workers laid over 30,000 cubic meters of concrete in a short period of time and built a kilometer-long overpass. October 23, 1931. The central power plant with a final capacity of 248,000 kilowatts provided the first electrical energy to Magnitogorsk. The construction of Magnitogorsk rallied 40 thousand people who created the flagship of the domestic metallurgy. December 28, 1931. Battery No. 3 of the coking plant produced the first coke. Contrary to the calculations of American specialists, who tried to prove that the construction of this production facility would require more than two years, the construction took less than a year.

February 1, 1932. Blast furnace No. 1 produced the first cast iron. This day went down in history as the birthday of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. June 1932. The first cast iron was produced by Domna No. 2, the legendary "Komsomolskaya Pravda". The annual output of the first stage of Magnitogorsk was to be about 4 million tons of metal - three times more than what was produced in the Urals in 1930. The number of inhabitants of Magnitogorsk exceeded 200 thousand people.

August 26, 1532 - One of the first sound cinemas in the Urals, Magnit, was opened in Magnitogorsk. September 1, 1932. The first classes at the Magnitogorsk Mining and Metallurgical Institute. The blacksmith shop was put into operation. A crushing plant was put into operation at the mine of Mount Magnitnaya. July 5, 1933. The first steel smelting was produced at the open-hearth furnace No. 1. 1933 Three open-hearth furnaces were put into operation, the 4th blast furnace was blown out, blooming No. 2 began to work. August 5, 1934. The first section rolling mill "500" was put into operation in Magnitogorsk. With the launch of this unit, MMK became a major supplier of long products and turned into a metallurgical enterprise with a complete metallurgical cycle.

1934 The first heats were issued at three new open-hearth furnaces. By the end of the year, 32,000 people studied at universities, technical schools and evening schools in Magnitogorsk. 1935 Three more open-hearth furnaces were put into operation. The master plan of the city on the right bank of the Ural River was approved. 1936 - 1940s. Five open-hearth furnaces were put into operation. The construction of heavy-duty blast furnace No. 5 has begun.

July 1941. The first armored steel of Magnitogorsk was smelted at open-hearth furnace No. 3. For the first time in the history of world metallurgy, an armor plate was rolled on blooming No. 3. 1941 The most powerful thick-walled armored camp "4500" in the USSR, evacuated from Mariupol, was put into operation. By the end of the year, 3,638 women had replaced husbands, brothers, and fathers at the plant who had gone to the front. The first such was smelted in open-hearth furnace No. 18. 1943 Open-hearth workers of Magnitogorsk have mastered the production of high-quality, armor-piercing steel. The country's largest blast furnace No. 6 was put into operation. 1947 The Magnitogorsk rolling mill "300" became the first complex-automated unit of this type in the country.

1951 The broadband rolling plant "1450" was put into operation, consisting of two mills: hot-rolling mill-2 and cold-rolling mill-2. 1954 - Three open-hearth furnaces were put into operation. 1956 - The shop for galvanized sewing utensils was put into operation. The five-stand mill was put into operation. Sheet-rolling shop No. 3 is ready for launch. 1959 A slab was put into operation, one of the largest in the world in terms of its capacity. Two open-hearth furnaces were put into operation.

1960 The first sheet was produced at the "2500" hot rolling mill. The first open-hearth steel was smelted in two new furnaces. 1961 - 1963 years. A new blast-furnace slag granulation plant was put into operation. The mold shop was put into operation. Two open-hearth furnaces and Domna No. 9 were built - built taking into account the latest achievements of science and technology. 1969 Sheet-rolling shop No. 5 was put into operation.

1972 The first stage of the new mine of the Maly Kuzbass plant with a capacity of 1,700,000 tons of ore per year has been put into operation. 1979 LPTs-6 gave the country the first million of electrolytic tin plate. 1981 The 8-bis coke oven battery with a capacity of 1 million tons of coke per year was put into operation. 1982 On Victory Square there is a monument "Tank" with the inscription: "During the war years, every second tank and every third shell was made of Magnitogorsk steel." November 14, 1985. The first group of envoys from the regional Komsomol arrived at the All-Union shock Komsomol construction site - an oxygen-converter shop. April 17, 1986 The first cubic meter of concrete was laid into the foundation of the oxygen-converter shop. But MMK began the last construction, carried out with state budget money. 1987 The MMK team switched to full cost accounting and self-financing. The construction of hot-rolling mill "2000" LPTs-10 has begun.

November 2, 1990 The first steel was welded in MMK's oxygen-converter shop. May 21, 1994. The group of rough flares of the hot rolling mill "2000" produced the first steel paste. Sheet-rolling shop No. 10 began work. October 14, 1994. The "2000" mill was put into operation. August 15, 1995. CJSC "Yuzhuralavtoban" is created, carrying out complex repair and construction of roads both in the Chelyabinsk region and beyond. September 12, 1995. CJSC "Complex of New Technologies" was created, the main task of which is the production of products of the fifth and sixth stages. June 15, 1996. The first rolling rolls for the shops of the metallurgical complex were cast in the mold shop on the new EAF-12 electric furnace.

August 1997 For the first time in the world practice, Magnitogorsk steelmakers smelted armored steel in a converter. 1998 At MMK's by-product by-product plant, the first phase of the coke oven gas capture and processing shop was put into operation. The largest in the world in terms of gas processing - 240 cubic meters per hour. Emissions into the atmosphere decreased by 20 thousand tons per year. The most harmful emissions will be reduced by three-quarters. After reconstruction, blast furnace No. 1 was put into operation, the productivity of which increased to 3,000 tons of pig iron per day. May 14, 1999. A ceremonial commissioning of the second stage of the KHP capture shop took place. The technological process of this workshop is fully automated. November 6, 1999 The first steel was smelted at converter No. 3 of an oxygen-converter Czech MMK. The N-1 coke oven battery was launched, which was stopped for repairs in 1992 and subjected to "cold" conservation.

January 2000 CJSC Complex of Deep Processing is being created, which produces road barriers, bent profiles, oil and gas pipelines and water pipes, cold-rolled galvanized steel strip and much more. March 5, 2000 Presentation of the first issue of OJSC MMK's bonds took place in the "President Hotel" in Moscow. Magnitka entered the stock market. June 2000 The IDI rotary kiln No. 4, the first stage of the workshop for the production of magnesia-dolomite refractories, completely renovated, with improved metal heating technology, blast furnace No. 2, the famous Komsomolka, the ladle furnace of the oxygen-converter shop were put into operation. September 1, 2000. The obsolete shaft furnaces No. 1 and No. 2 of lime-dolomite production, which had been operating since 1934, were decommissioned. With the closure of these furnaces, the gross emission of harmful substances into the environment has decreased by 6,000 tons annually. November 2000 A new hot-rolling mill No. 3 "Kacks" is being built in the section shop. April 2001 The construction of a two-stand reversing steel sheet cold rolling mill has begun.

Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works exports about 60% of its products. Outside the country, the products of the oxygen-converter shop, section mills and almost all sheet shops are sold.

The geography of exports includes the countries of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and the CIS (the largest consumers of MMK's metal in the near abroad are Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan). MMK has long-standing partnerships with enterprises and companies from the USA, Canada, Finland and Italy. The structure of exports is constantly changing in the direction of increasing sales finished species rental.

MMK has been and remains a socially oriented enterprise, where concern is constantly shown not only for the material well-being of employees, but also for improving the recreation industry and improving the health of workers. At the disposal of metallurgists and their families are sports and recreation complexes, comfortable sanatoriums and boarding houses located in the corners of nature that are unique in their beauty, four children's health camps.

Thanks to OJSC MMK, in recent years, an athletics arena, an Ice Palace, a children's Ice Palace, a sports and recreation complex, a children's pool, and an Abzakovo ski center have been built in Magnitogorsk, which significantly contributed not only to the popularization of physical culture and sports, but also made a significant contribution to the development of the city's infrastructure.

Over the past decade, the hockey club has been one of the leaders in domestic hockey.

The story about Magnitogorsk is divided into two parts. In the first part, we will talk about the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) - the city's city-forming enterprise, the dramatic history of the first years of the construction of the plant and its current situation, illustrated by photographs; in the second part there will be a history of the construction of a relatively young city, houses from the Stalinist period will fall, it was at this time that the city and the plant were built.

Brief information about the plant

The Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK, previously bore the names: Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works named after I. V. Stalin, Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works named after V. I. Lenin) is the largest full-cycle metallurgical enterprise in Russia (production of cast iron, steel and rolled products). Magnitka is one of the most powerful symbols of industrialization and one of the main symbols of the Stalin era. Magnitogorsk was built by the whole country, specialists from America took part in the construction. On this moment The plant employs about 55 thousand people. MMK is included in the list of backbone organizations in Russia, the stability of society depends on the work of these enterprises. total area plant is 11834.9 hectares. If you calculate, then the territory of the plant can accommodate most of Moscow inside the third transport ring and there will still be free space.

Magnitka always surprised. It surprised American engineers who did not believe that industrial facilities could be built in such record time. She surprised the whole world when, in the harsh years of the Great Patriotic War, she managed in just a month to launch the production of armor steel, which the country needed so much, rolling it on blooming, which no one had ever done before. It surprised skeptics of all kinds, giving out record after record and constantly increasing the production of metal, which still serves people at various industrial facilities, building structures of Baikonur, gas pipelines and oil pipelines. The main domestic consumers of the plant's products are: the pipe industry, the automotive industry (KamAZ, MAZ, GAZ, BelAZ, etc.), enterprises of railway engineering and shipbuilding, and many others.

History of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works

Sergo Ordzhonikidze explained what the products of Magnitogorsk meant for the country during his visit to Magnitostroy in 1934: about 40 million rubles. A lot of bread and meat must be taken out of the country in order to pay for the metal and the machines we need. And if we press on and start up mill-500 as soon as possible, then we will be able to order metal from abroad much less. This means that we will export fewer goods and products that we lack in our country.”

Metallurgist Avraamiy Pavlovich Zavenyagin, one of the first directors of the plant, said: “Magnitogorsk was erected, in essence, by three heroes: Ya. D. Valerius - head of the Magnitostroy trust in 1936." All three were shot in the late thirties. In addition to them, the military builder V. A. Saprykin, who was under investigation earlier and escaped this fate, was in the position of chief engineer ...
Speaking about the three heroes of Magnitogorsk, Zavenyagin was obviously modest, without mentioning himself.
The significant iron ore reserves of Magnitnaya Mountain have been known since the 18th century, but they were not developed, largely due to the fact that there were no large forests nearby (charcoal was used as fuel in metallurgy at that time). The development of Magnitogorsk deposits became possible after the start of development of high-quality coking coals in Kuzbass.
At the end of the 19th century, on the instructions of the Ministry of Finance, the Urals were examined by a government commission led by Professor D. I. Mendeleev. In July 1899, its representatives arrived in the area of ​​Mount Magnitnaya. Summing up the results of the survey, the commission wrote: "The probable minimum of the ore wealth of the Magnitnaya Mountain is expressed in a round number of three billion pounds."
Since 1899, the laying of the correct cuts began, which were used mainly for the development of placer ores. Production volumes in best years amounted to no more than 3 million pounds (this is about 48,000 tons, for comparison, by 1936, 5.5 million tons of ore were produced at the Magnitogorsk mine).
After the revolution of 1917, the country took a course towards increased industrialization.
In the winter of 1918, at the direction of Lenin, the mining and metallurgical department of the Supreme Council of National Economy announced a competition for a project to create a single economic organization covering the region of mining and metallurgical industry Ural and Kuznetsk coal basin. The Ural-Kuznetsk problem was discussed in detail at the First All-Russian Congress of Councils of the National Economy, held in May-June 1918. The congress pointed out that the main way out of the difficult situation with metal in the country was to move the center of industry to the East, to create a powerful coal and metallurgical base in the Urals and to Western Siberia. Although even then quite a few congress participants spoke out against the idea of ​​the Ural-Kuzbass. Much has been said about the expediency of developing ferrous metallurgy in the south of the country - in the Donbass and Krivoy Rog, and not in the bare, uninhabited places of the Urals and Siberia.
The transportation of coal from Kuzbass to the Urals, as well as the transportation of ore from the Urals to Kuzbass in the mid-20s, was recognized by authoritative scientists as a project in all respects unprofitable and clearly utopian. According to the calculations of these scientists, the transportation of Kuznetsk coal to the Urals over a distance of more than 2,000 km will be ruinous for the state, making the Urals, in particular Magnitogorsk metal, more expensive at cost than Ukrainian. The Ural-Kuznetsk project was a big question mark.
Still, the skeptics remained in the minority. Specialists and expert commissions offered a counterargument that, despite the significant transport "shoulder" in the transportation of coal, the extraction of ore located almost on the surface will compensate for the cost of the metal obtained.

In 1925, designing began, and in 1929, the construction of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant began. The Magnetic Plant under construction near the mountain was designed as the most large enterprise ferrous metallurgy of the country, which it has remained to this day. On March 10, 1929, the first builders arrived at Magnetic Mountain, and in May, more than 300 people were already working at the construction site.
The construction mainly used heavy manual labor thousands of people who came from all over the Union. Magnitka was built in record time. Already in August 1929, ore development began, and Magnitnaya ore began to be sent to the factories of the Urals.

In 1930, in the presence of 14,000, the laying of the first blast furnace of the future giant of ferrous metallurgy takes place. Then earthworks begin on the dam, which was supposed to provide the plant with water. This structure (without spillway) was built in just 74 days. In September 1930, the foundation of the first blast furnace was completed. The launch of the first Magnitogorsk metal was approaching every day.

In early 1931, Magnitostroy was headed by Yakov Semenovich Gugel, who had previously had extensive experience in the metallurgical industry. He managed to reorganize the construction sites in the shortest possible time, introducing the workshop principle. Blast furnace, open-hearth and rolling shops were created and, accordingly, builders and future operators were united. In the second half of 1931, several important start-up facilities of the future plant were put into operation: on July 17, a refractories workshop was launched; on October 9, specialists put the 1st blast furnace for drying; first, gave out the first coke.

On January 31, 1932, despite the protests of American engineers, who considered it necessary to postpone the launch until spring, the first blast furnace was blown out, and on February 1, the first cast iron was produced. The birth of Magnitogorsk took place. In the summer of 1932, blast furnace No. 2 "Komsomolskaya Pravda" produced its first cast iron.

Many large facilities were launched in Magnitogorsk in 1933: blast furnaces No. 3 and 4, four open-hearth furnaces - the plant began to smelt steel. And in August 1934, the first section rolling mill "500" was put into operation in Magnitogorsk. With the launch of this facility, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works became a major supplier of long products and turned into an enterprise with a complete metallurgical cycle.
The record short time from construction, which began in the summer of 1930 to the receipt of the first cast iron in February 1932, was given for a reason. In 1932, Ordzhonikidze came to inspect the construction of the MMK, and he did not like what he saw. Not only was construction far behind schedule, but mismanagement was evident. With an annual volume of work of 200 million rubles, equipment and material worth 108 million were lying on the construction site. As a result, the director of Magnitogorsk Myshkov lost his position, and Abraham Zavenyagin took his place.

In many ways, the fate of Zavenyagin was determined by a meeting with the head of the All-Union Council of the National Economy (VSNKh) Sergo Ordzhonikidze in 1930.
Sergo was one of the romantic revolutionaries, despite the fact that on his account there were both the fight against Denikin, the establishment of Soviet power in the Transcaucasus, and decossackization. Avraamiy Zavenyagin became a happy find for Ordzhonikidze: young, with an impeccable social background, smart, educated - a graduate of the Mining Academy, a student of Academician Ivan Mikhailovich Gubkin, a famous oilman, but also a chief explorer.
Sergo attached Zavenyagin to the Gipromez design institute, but this was only a temporary appointment.

The new director quickly understood the main problem - the plant needed a radical expansion of the raw material base, the mine. Zavenyagin decided to organize ore mining open way. In domestic practice, this approach was new, so a specialist was needed who could bring it to life. Such a person was Professor Boris Bogolyubov, the country's greatest expert in mining, who at one time supervised the design of the Magnitogorsk mine. But back in 1931 Bogolyubov was arrested as a pest and sentenced to ten years in exile. Zavenyagin, through Ordzhonikidze, began to seek his release and succeeded. Soon Boris Bogolyubov came to Magnitogorsk. Zavenyagin settled Bogolyubov in his apartment. By this act, he incurred the dislike of the head of the Magnitogorsk NKVD.

Bogolyubov fully justified Zavenyagin's expectations. In 1936, the Magnitogorsk mine produced 5.5 million tons of finished ore, while, for example, the entire iron ore industry in Germany produced 4.7 million tons. In the same year, the Magnitogorsk Combine smelted more iron than Italy and Canada combined. In 1937, the production of MMK increased in comparison with the pre-Zavenyagin period by one and a half to two times (according to different types products). “True, in the United States, only 128 people are employed to service a furnace similar to the Magnitogorsk one, but at our plant, more than 200 people work on each furnace,” Zavenyagin lamented. “These figures testify to the large reserves for increasing labor productivity.”

In the spring of 1936, the NKVD fabricated a case “On the activities of the sabotage Trotskyist organization at Uralvagonstroy, Uralvagonzavod”, during which about two thousand people were arrested, including construction and plant managers. Stalin demands from Ordzhonikidze to speak at the February-March (1937) plenum of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks with a report "On the lessons of sabotage, sabotage and espionage of Japanese-German-Trotskyist agents." Ordzhonikidze prepared a draft of his report, which practically did not mention sabotage in heavy industry, and the emphasis was on the need to eliminate the shortcomings in the work. Shortly before the plenum, Sergo calls Zavenyagin to Moscow, to the post of deputy people's commissar of heavy industry.

In February 1937, Nikolai Bukharin met Ordzhonikidze, who said that he was going to Stalin to discuss the report prepared for the plenum. “He was in a fighting mood,” Bukharin noted. The next day, February 18, Zavenyagin arrives in Moscow, calls the People's Commissariat, and is informed that Ordzhonikidze has died of a heart attack. Zavenyagin loses his patron.

He has to speak at the plenum of the Central Committee instead of Ordzhonikidze. “The well-known Maryasin worked at Magnitogorsk, he built a coking plant and built it obviously wreckingly,” said Avraamy Pavlovich. - For the most profitable transfer of coke, coke ovens had to be built against blast furnaces: the first battery, the second battery, the third and fourth battery. However, the pest began to build from the eighth battery. And thus, it turned out that blast furnaces are at one end, and coke oven batteries are at the other. They connected both with a temporary conveyor almost a kilometer long. This conveyor has become a hotbed of constant accidents, large downtimes of coke and blast furnaces, and huge losses in production. Railways and the cables were laid in temporary huts, all the land remained, the units of the workshop ended up in ditches and pits. We then had to take out and take out this land on the move, to shift cables and tracks, which was extremely expensive.

Important point: former boss Magnitogorsk "Koksokhimstroy" Lazar Maryasin in 1935 was transferred to Nizhny Tagil, where he became one of the main defendants in the "Uralvagonzavod case". He was arrested back in April 1936, which Zavenyagin could not have been unaware of. He probably understood that Maryasin was waiting for execution, so he openly blamed all the problems of Magnitogorsk on him. However, it is quite possible that Zavenyagin sincerely considered Maryasin a pest - it took too much effort to correct what the former head of Koksokhimstroy had done.

However, the main topic of Zavenyagin's report was not sabotage. He formulated the main problems of the planned economy, which he encountered at the MMK. These problems have not been solved during the years of Soviet power.

The report was approved by the plenum of the Central Committee, and Avraamiy Pavlovich was approved as deputy commissar of heavy industry.

In 1938, the new people's commissar, Lazar Kaganovich, arranged for Zavenyagin to test his loyalty, demanding that on behalf of the People's Commissariat, consent to the arrest of Academician Gubkin be signed on charges of squandering public funds. Avraamy Pavlovich reacted outside the box: he violated the chain of command, called Stalin on the turntable and stood up for his teacher. Gubkin was left alone, but Kaganovich did not forgive his deputy for the demarche: "You can hand over your affairs, you can no longer go to work."

Further, the story of Zavenyagin is no longer connected with the plant. He leaves to work in Norilsk to supervise the construction of the Norilsk Combine (now owned by Norilsk Nickel), he also took part in leading the development of the atomic bomb.

Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works today

1. Magnitogorsk CHPP. Electrical power 300MW. For the most part, it covers MMK's electricity needs, although the plant has its own independent substations. The thermal power plant also provides energy to the left-bank part of the city and part of the right bank. The station was commissioned in 1954. Over the years, the CHP has been completed. MMK's CHP was built by the whole country, supplies of equipment for CHP were carried out by 30 cities of the USSR (Moscow, Leningrad, Barnaul, Sverdlovsk, Novosibirsk, Taganrog, Yaroslavl, Tomsk, Khabarovsk, and many others). Specialists from the socialist countries took part in the construction.

2. Sector for the supply of iron ore and concentrates.

5. Very dirty production. By the way, I am at the point that is not fenced. Following sound logic, I thought that I was outside the plant. But it was not there. Another half a kilometer from the GOK and I get to the checkpoint, where the guards catch me. I write an explanatory note, then the police come for me and this story drags on for the whole day. A conversation with the colonel, then with an FSB officer. Although the territory of the plant is not clearly marked, nevertheless I was on the territory. And being with a camera on the territory of MMK is equated with industrial espionage. In addition, behind the fence, where people can safely walk, there is a testing ground where steel produced for the defense industry is tested for strength. The shooting location is essentially a classified object. It was very difficult for our police and the FSB to explain their interest in industrial architecture. Very difficult.

6. 2/5 of Magnitogorsk's iron ore reserves have already been depleted. This part of the quarry has exhausted almost its entire resource. There are still some stocks, but they are left in case of war.

7. Mount Magnetic. Gave life to MMK.

8. Minor work in progress.

9. There is an active quarry on the left side, but getting to the shooting site is not realistic.

The first-born of the five-year plans, the armored shield of the country, the giant of the Soviet industry, the flagship of the domestic metallurgy, the "trendsetter" in the metallurgical industry - this is all about MMK. His records conquered the whole world: his very appearance from scratch in the shortest possible time was the main achievement.

In the February days of this year, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, the city-forming enterprise of Magnitogorsk, one of the most famous, constituting the industrial heritage of the USSR, accepted congratulations in connection with the anniversary. Exactly 85 years ago, on February 1, 1932, the first blast furnace produced the first cast iron. It was this day that began to be considered MMK's birthday. There was not a single person in the Soviet Union who did not know about this firstborn of the first five-year plans and a symbol of Soviet industrialization.

The history of MMK (Magnitka is a more familiar name) is a real "phenomenon" in the history of the country. The deaf Ural steppe - and the giant of the Soviet industry, which rose from scratch in record time, solely thanks to the dedication of thousands of first builders. That was incredible. No one in the world believed that this was possible. As they did not believe later, when the plant took only a month to start producing armored steel for the country at war with the Nazis.

“Since the launch of the first blast furnace in Magnitogorsk until today, MMK has mined over 430 million tons of ore, produced more than 700 million tons of sinter, 614 million tons of pig iron, 791 million tons of steel and 633 million tons of marketable metal products. If all the steel smelted in Magnitogorsk over 85 years is presented in the form of a sheet 0.5 mm thick, then it could cover an area of ​​​​about 200 thousand square meters. km. This is more than the territory of such countries as Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland put together.”

Metal from Magnitogorsk still serves in DneproGES, Baikonur, gas pipelines and oil pipelines. MMK has always been and remains the flagship of the domestic ferrous metallurgy and is proud of the people who have repeatedly demonstrated their unbending character throughout the history of the plant.

How Mount Magnetic was conquered

Both the city of Magnitogorsk itself and the plant owe their birth to that mountain (and the name too). The unique accumulation of iron ores in a small area, according to the first estimates of experts, amounted to about half a billion tons of iron ore, high-grade with an iron content of up to 70%, and most importantly, not deep, and in some places came to the surface.

They say that the Magnitnaya fortress Orenburg governor I.I. Neplyuev founded in 1743 solely for the purpose of protecting the mountain from unauthorized attempts to extract ore. In the vicinity of the mountain, Pugachev fought with the tsarist army, and the fortress itself, by the way, even served as a base for the Pugachev rebels.

When, a century later, the government commission headed by D.I. Mendeleev, explored the mountain in 1899 and produced necessary calculations, the estimated reserves of ores amounted to 1 billion pounds, although a little later, more detailed calculations made it possible to triple this value.

The same Dmitry Ivanovich repeatedly pointed out that it is much more expedient to organize the production of pig iron using coal as the main fuel for metallurgical production. He said that it was very important to build large blast furnaces capable of smelting pig iron much cheaper using mineral fuel delivered from Western Siberia, where deposits were discovered. hard coal. Siberian Railway passed very close. For the iron business in the Urals, this could be a real impetus.

Only now the ineradicable Russian bureaucracy did not allow this idea to be implemented. Until the October Revolution itself, to combine Siberian coal and the Urals iron ore did not succeed.

In May 1925, in Sverdlovsk, they began designing the Magnitogorsk plant near Magnitnaya Mountain, which, according to the plans of the young Soviet government, was destined to become the largest metallurgical plant in the country. Four years later, construction began on the territory of the Chelyabinsk region.

Even the most difficult conditions in which the first builders of Magnitogorsk had to work did not prevent them from starting mining in August 1929. Ore from Mount Magnitnaya was sent to the Ural factories.

By the beginning of 1931, blast furnace, open-hearth and rolling shops had already been erected, a little later a refractory shop was put into operation, the 1st blast furnace was put into drying, the central power plant gave the first current, and on February 1, 1931, Magnitogorsk gave the first cast iron. Her birth took place. Already in the summer, blast furnace No. 2 produced cast iron.

The plant developed rapidly. Only one year has passed, and two more blast furnaces, four open-hearth furnaces have already been launched. Steel is smelted at Magnitka. And with the launch of high-quality rolling mill 500 in 1934, the plant became an enterprise with a complete metallurgical cycle.

World history I did not know until now examples of the construction of such a grandiose industrial facility in such a short time, when the technical capabilities are minimal.

This largest domestic metallurgical enterprise was destined to become a real armor shield during the Great patriotic war. This was also facilitated by the geographical distance from the hostilities.

From the first days of the war, MMK lived and worked for the front, for victory.

To fulfill complex military orders, a radical restructuring of production was required. Metallurgists had to adapt furnaces for smelting armored steel. All over the world, this was done in low-tonnage open-hearth open-hearths, so that this technology was now being urgently mastered at MMK. A month after the start of the war, they were able to get the first armored steel. Moreover, Magnitogorsk created new technology its smelting in large open-hearth furnaces with a main hearth, than in the metallurgy of high-quality steel, literally made a revolution.

A workshop for the heat treatment of armor was also being built at an accelerated pace; it received the first armor plates already in September of the 41st.

Magnitka became the country's military arsenal, also producing shells, hand grenades, parts for rockets and other defense products.

New production units were built and put into operation:

• open-hearth furnace No. 19;
• mill "2350" from Zaporozhye;
• coke battery;
• blast furnaces No. 5 and No. 6.

We can safely say that over the years, a whole plant with a complete metallurgical cycle has been built and mastered in Magnitogorsk. During the war years, every third shell was produced from Magnitogorsk steel, the armor of every second Soviet tank.

And in the post-war years ... a "trendsetter" in the iron and steel industry

Steel production continued to grow at a rapid pace. During the first twenty post-war years, MMK put into operation 14 open-hearth and 4 blast furnaces, 6 rolling shops and the same number of coke batteries.

Magnitka even in many ways was a "trendsetter" in the industry:

In the mid-70s, the plant produced 15 million tons of steel and 12 million tons of finished rolled products per year. Production remained at about the same level for several more years. And in 1989 Magnitka reached a record figure - 16 million tons of steel per year.

into a market economy

The collapse of the Union, entry into the market for the plant could not but have negative consequences. In 1992, the Magnitogorsk Combine becomes a joint stock company. the main objective what stands before him is the reconstruction and modernization of production. There is no other way. Fixed assets are worn out, technologies are already outdated by that time. The converter complex alone fully met the requirements of modern metallurgical technologies. And still, production volumes by the mid-90s were far from record-breaking. Why is there MMK, there is an economic recession throughout the country, and most of the large consumers of metal are on the verge of stopping. First of all, it concerned machine-building and defense complexes.

From the end of the nineties, a grandiose restoration began at MMK.

1. A large-scale investment program aimed at technical re-equipment was developed.

   It took fifteen whole years until modern production complexes were put into operation at the plant, which made it possible to ensure the production of products that could compete in the domestic and foreign markets.

   During this time, metallurgists have abandoned the open-hearth method of steel smelting, all steelmaking capacities have been updated, section rolling production has been completely reconstructed, galvanized rolled products and rolled metal with a polymer coating are produced on high-performance modern units.

   The measures taken have significantly improved the ecological situation in the city.

   The year 1997 was a turning point for Magnitogorsk. The plant achieved an increase in steel production, and in subsequent years the volume of production gradually increased.

2. The implementation of the integration policy has become another direction in which the plant has developed. Since 2002, MMK has owned controlling stakes in the calibration and hardware-metallurgical Magnitogorsk plants. Due to their merger, the hardware industry of the country has gained large JSC"Magnitogorsk hardware and calibration plant" MMK-METIZ ".

MMK continues to expand and create its own resource base by joining the Belon coal company and the Profit company specializing in the supply of scrap metal.

In addition, the plant implements part of the projects outside Magnitka. A plant for stamped auto components was built in Kolpino, and a metallurgical complex "MMK Metalurji" was built in the Republic of Turkey.

Any of the projects implemented by MMK is another step towards strengthening competitiveness and sustainable development.

“In accordance with the new version of the Articles of Association, from June 5, 2017, the full corporate name of MMK in Russian is the Public Joint Stock Company Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, the abbreviated corporate name is PJSC MMK; full company name joint-stock company on English language is Public Joint Stock Company Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works, abbreviated corporate name - PJSC MMK.

MMK Group is a highly efficient Russian steel company, which occupies a leading position among the enterprises of the industry. It is one of the 30 largest steel producers in the world, ensuring compliance with high standards in the field of ecology and labor protection. MMK does not give up its positions in the domestic market of metal-roll manufacturers, all the last years it has been steadily remaining in the top three with a production volume of 17.5% in the company with NMLK (17.5) and Severstal (15.3). It is the only manufacturer of tinplate in the country.

OJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works is a modern highly profitable enterprise, one of the 20 largest steel companies in the world. It is the largest metallurgical complex in Russia with a full production cycle. OJSC MMK produces the widest range of steel products today among the enterprises of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries. Magnitka is the only Russian manufacturer of high-quality cold-rolled strip and tinplate. In terms of product sales, OJSC MMK has the best performance among Russian metallurgical enterprises. OJSC MMK is located in the very center of Russia, which determines the geography of sales both domestically and internationally. foreign market. Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works exports about 60% of its products. The geography of exports includes the countries of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and the CIS (the largest consumers of MMK's metal in the near abroad are Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan). MMK has long-standing partnerships with enterprises and companies from the USA, Canada, Finland and Italy.

2002 was a special year for the metallurgists of Magnitogorsk - an anniversary. And he, like the previous ones, was marked by hard work at all stages of the metallurgical cycle and worthy results. The company continued its dynamic development. For the year, the increase in production amounted to an average of 7%. 9.7 million tons of finished products - finished steel - were produced, 11 million tons of steel were smelted, 9.3 million tons of cast iron, 5.3 million tons of coke, 9.5 million tons of sinter were produced. Products sold amounted to 60 billion rubles against 47 billion in 2001. The profit was about 12 billion rubles against 8 billion in the previous year.

The total number of employees in the existing metallurgical holding as of December 2002 amounted to 68,189 people (including members of their families, about 200 thousand people, i.e. almost half of the city's residents), of which 35,102 people are employees of OJSC MMK, 4,426 people work at the calibration plant, 43,921 people work at a hardware and metallurgical plant, 24,279 people work in other subsidiaries and institutions (1).

As a result, both domestic and foreign experts are unanimous in their opinion: the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works is today the leading enterprise in the domestic metallurgy. The total tax deductions of Magnitogorsk last year amounted to almost four billion rubles. The plant has no tax debts. It is quite natural that the tax authorities issued a certificate of trust to the enterprise.

The successes of recent years in the workforce of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works are associated with the arrival in 1996 of new team managers headed by Viktor Filippovich Rashnikov, who worked his way at the plant from worker to general director. Today CEO OJSC MMK also holds the post of president of the club the best managers Russia, which is a confirmation of his managerial abilities.

According to directors and members management teams, the plant has undergone major changes in the organizational and structural plan. The strongest changes affected sales, marketing, services working with suppliers, financial and economic services.

In the management of such big company, as OJSC MMK, it is worth highlighting:

Manufacturing control;

Financial and economic management;

Management of commercial matters;

Investment and strategic management;

Management of general issues;

Personnel Management;

Construction management.

Each block is headed by a director or deputy general director. However, despite the importance and need for structural reforms, the most important condition for the success of MMK is the professionalism of managers and competent personnel policy.

Personnel policy is an integral part of the general development strategy of OJSC MMK. It corresponds to its corporate ideology and culture and is aimed at ensuring the long-term competitiveness of OJSC MMK in the global metal products market.

Leaders at all levels of the management hierarchy act as ideologists and conductors of personnel policy. Directors for areas, heads of departments, chief specialists, managers structural divisions together with the Human Resources Department participate in the selection, evaluation and training personnel reserve management personnel.

The personnel policy of the enterprise is built in accordance with the following priorities.

Achievement international standards in all areas of activity.

Staffing of production and social development enterprises at all levels with highly qualified personnel.

Application of new technologies in personnel development and work with personnel.

Priority development of the personnel potential of OJSC MMK in accordance with the modernization of production and improvement of the management system.

Investing in personnel in line with the increasing requirements for qualifications, workplace and production.

Focus on social protection of OJSC MMK's personnel and pensioners, their interests and health.

This personnel policy has justified itself. Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works became the winner of the 2002 competition " Russian organization high social efficiency» in the nomination «Qualification of personnel, the system of their training and retraining». On this occasion, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matvienko, said: “The fact that Magnitka was awarded a diploma of the first degree in this competition indicates that you are keeping up with the times. Today, enterprises that invest in the main thing - in human capital, in the education and training of workers, the creation of working conditions, systems social protection, as a rule, receive a double return on production, because social investments have a very serious impact on economic efficiency enterprises. Today it is obvious that the authorities alone cannot cope with the accumulated heap social problems. Experience shows that they can only be solved with the cooperation of government, business and society through the creation of a so-called system social partnership. Without her we will never build market economy oriented to the well-to-do. Therefore, I welcome the efforts that the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works is making to improve the social climate at the enterprise, taking care of veterans and young people. I believe that in this way the management of the plant looks to the future of its enterprise, not trying to make a profit at any cost, not dooming the enterprise to stagnation in the future” (2).

The position of the leadership of the metallurgical giant remains unchanged: “Time has changed, and life itself has changed with it,” says V. Rashnikov, General Director of OJSC MMK. - But the plant and the city continue to be a single entity, despite the forecasts of skeptics and all kinds of critics. The work of the plant is unthinkable without people hurrying to its workshops every day. But even its best results lose all meaning if they are achieved for the sake of an abstract benefit that does not benefit people. The construction of hospitals, schools, roads and housing, the maintenance of the Palaces of Culture, sanatoriums and children's health camps, the creation of a whole system of measures designed to improve the life of Magnitogorsk residents - the capital invested in all this, the capital working for people and for the sake of people, cannot but pay off handsomely . For the plant, there are no “friends” and “strangers” in Magnitogorsk, because today there is no family in it whose history, one way or another, would not be involved in the history of MMK’s achievements and victories” (16).

JSC "Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works" is a city-forming and socially oriented enterprise.

The social policy of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works is a vast layer, a vast field for the application of forces. It includes several areas of activity at once. This includes the creation of conditions for employees and their families to resolve all issues of life, and targeted social support for veterans, the disabled, large families and other low-income categories, and the provision of facilities social sphere OJSC MMK provides services to residents of the city and nearby areas, and sponsorship and charitable assistance to public associations, various organizations education, healthcare, culture, sports and other areas public life, and participation in the development of the habitat.

Until recently, Magnitogorsk was one of the cities with the most unfavorable environment. But now a lot has changed. This happened primarily because the plant realized in time that the only and most effective way to improve the environment is the technical re-equipment of the enterprise with the replacement of existing production processes on low-waste and non-waste technologies, the introduction of new, modern treatment plants and the reconstruction of existing ones. The commissioning of the oxygen-converter shop made it possible to close most of the open-hearth furnaces, which are the most harmful to environment. Many blast furnaces, sinter plants, and coke batteries were shut down or modernized.

A special role was played by the construction of Europe's largest coke oven gas complex treatment plant, thanks to which the amount of harmful emissions immediately decreased by 20 thousand tons per year. Moreover, the release of the most harmful substances that caused cancer, decreased by 7090. The construction of the workshop cost $ 200 million. On the whole, MMK's expenses for environmental protection annually amount to more than 800 million rubles. All this was not long in affecting the ecological situation in Magnitogorsk. The amount of harmful emissions in recent years has decreased by 4 times.

The social policy of OJSC MMK is based on the following principles and directions:

Creation of conditions for employees and members of their families to solve all issues of life, including the improvement of living conditions, treatment and medical care, health improvement and recreation, cultural services with holding festive events, mass sports and physical education, funeral services, providing the opportunity to purchase quality food and the entire range of consumer goods using cashless payments in trading network cities on "credit" plastic cards;

“targeted” social support for veterans, disabled people, families with many children and other low-income categories through the Metallurg charitable public fund created by OJSC MMK and using social facilities maintained at the expense of OJSC MMK;

Provision of services by OJSC MMK's social facilities to residents of the city and neighboring areas of the Chelyabinsk Region and the Republic of Bashkortostan;

Support and charitable assistance to public associations working with the disabled, children and various categories of the underprivileged, with other segments of the city's population;

Charitable assistance and sponsorship to various organizations of education, healthcare, culture, sports and other areas of public life in holding various cultural and sports festivals and memorials.

Social policy at OJSC MMK is implemented by the department social programs, trade union committee, Klyuch Housing and Investment Fund, Union of Young Metallurgists, Council of Veterans, Metallurg Fund and others public organizations and movement. Every organization has specific tasks and your field of work. But, often carrying out different projects, associations work together, corporately. This is clearly demonstrated by the implementation of the youth program developed at OJSC MMK, which is carried out by the trade union committee, the personnel department, the Union of Young Metallurgists public association, the Council of Young Specialists and the Council of veterans of the plant. Financing of the program "Youth of OJSC MMK" is carried out by the trade union committee and the administration of the plant. And one more example - the department of social programs is one of the main management services of the plant, which prepares the text of the collective agreement for each year and, together with the trade union committee, develops normative documents for the implementation of the provisions of the collective agreement and control over its execution during the entire period of validity.

The Trade Union Committee sums up the results of fulfillment of the OJSC MMK's collective agreement. This document fixes the obligation of the administration of the enterprise to increase the average wage. MMK's management fulfills this obligation. If in January 2002 the average salary at OJSC MMK was 7,124 rubles, then in August it was 9,420 rubles. Wage growth is also noted at the plant's subsidiaries: from 6,640 rubles in January to 8,500 rubles in the middle of the year. At the same time, wage growth outpaces inflation, and real incomes of employees are 1.5 times higher than the average consumer budget. Wage paid on time and in full.

With the support of the trade union committee, a system of elected labor protection commissioners operates in the shops, who are regularly trained and certified. An annual review competition is held on labor safety and reduction of industrial injuries for the title of "The Best Occupational Safety Commissioner". All this leads to a reduction in industrial injuries. Since 1998, the number of injuries at the plant has almost halved.

Also priority directions in the work of the trade union committee are:

Social support for families with many children, families with disabled children, parents of soldiers who suffered in "hot spots";

Work with youth, carried out jointly with the Union of Young Metallurgists;

Improvement and recreation of metallurgists and members of their families;

Sports-mass, work;

Holding cultural events;

Support for horticultural associations.

A mutual benefit fund operates under the control of the trade union committee. Employees of the plant, its subsidiaries and institutions have the opportunity to receive repayable loans in it.

The MMK trade union organization was established on June 26, 1931. Then it numbered 5,000 people, and today it has more than 90,000 employees. The trade union committee of OJSC MMK is one of the largest trade union committees in the region.

The department of social programs, which was established in 1993, coordinates the work of all services of the plant for the implementation of social programs within the framework of the directions social policy OJSC MMK. It is entrusted with the functions of developing, developing and supporting social programs. Currently, it is headed by Alexander Masruev, who believes: “Magnitogorsk is famous not only for the colossal quantity and high quality of the produced metal, which, as you know, is the bread of the industry. It is no less important for today's Russia with its market changes as a model of a pronounced social orientation of the economy.

The tasks of the Department of Social Programs include:

Creation of conditions that allow mitigating, facilitating the adaptation of workers of the plant, non-working pensioners to life in market conditions with insufficient social guarantees and support at the state level;

Gradual restructuring of the psychology of employees from recipients of benefits and benefits to earning money to meet their vital needs with the creation by the employer of conditions for choosing priorities through measures to support socially significant areas of life for the work collective and the individual employee;

Development and implementation of measures to work with labor collective its representatives in the person of the trade union organization on the principles of social partnership, the formation of a corporate ideology.

Since the mid-1990s, housing construction and the development of the city have practically ceased in Magnitogorsk due to a lack of funds from industrial enterprises, city administration and residents.

Anticipating the emergence of this situation, OJSC MMK created the Klyuch housing and investment fund. The reduction of the plant's ability to invest funds from profits in housing construction and the provision of free housing to employees made it necessary to look for schemes for solving the housing problem that are accessible to employees and less burdensome for the joint-stock company. The Department of Social Programs was actively involved in the development of the housing program.

From 1996 to 2001, 215,718 square meters of housing were built, which made it possible to improve the living conditions of more than 2,500 families of workers of the plant and subsidiaries. During this period, the following scheme was applied: ZIF "Klyuch" accumulates funds from developers in the form of their cash and borrowed money, provided to them by the plant on an interest-free basis, and directs them to the construction of housing. The amount of borrowed funds and repayment terms (from 3 to 10 years) are determined depending on the degree of need of the employee to improve housing conditions and on the income level of the employee. Over this period, more than 280 million rubles were provided in loans to employees. For the plant and for workers in the transition period from free housing, such a scheme was optimal, but a major distraction working capital for the plant has become quite burdensome. Changes in legislation have led to a decrease in the profitability of using borrowed funds on preferential terms. Therefore, the search for new forms, sources and schemes for solving the housing problem continued. At present, a transition has been made to the use of bank credit resources under the guarantee of OJSC MMK. Employees purchase apartments under equity participation agreements in housing construction with payment by installments up to 9 years. In parallel, a program of mortgage lending to employees is being developed using MMK's short-term guarantee.

Currently, the development of a program to create a credit and consumer cooperative of citizens from among the workers of the plant is being completed in order to create monetary resources through the accumulation of funds to improve housing conditions and through this the provision of targeted loans to members of the cooperative. As the cooperative develops, it is planned to create an association of such cooperatives, which will be able to build new houses and even housing complexes.
