September 17, 2013

Yuriy Bokachev appointed Managing Director of NLMK DanSteel

Yuriy Bokachev has been appointed Managing Director of NLMK DanSteel A/S, a Danish plate producer and part of NLMK Europe Plate Products. In this capacity, Yuriy Bokachev will be responsible for NLMK DanSteel’s operating activities, operational health and safety, and environmental issues.

This position was previously held by Yury Tarasov, who has been appointed Commercial Director of NLMK Europe Plate Products, and will be responsible for managing the sales of the Division’s entire product range, excluding Q&T brands produced at NLMK Clabecq (new products, abrasion resistant [Quard] and high strength [Quend] steels).

The new appointments are part of NLMK Group’s strategy to improve operational efficiency, and to separate the sales of branded Q&T and other products, thereby consolidating NLMK Europe’s positions in niche high-margin markets.

Yuriy Bokachev has been with NLMK Group since 1994. From 2008, he was NLMK DanSteel Deputy Managing Director, responsible for overall control, implementing efficiency enhancement measures, contractual relations, and designing plant development programmes. Among other things, he headed the new Mill 4200 construction project. Yuriy Bokachev graduated with honours from Lipetsk State University, specializing in Pressure Metal Treatment (Physics and Technology Department). He then underwent professional training in Strategic Management under the Federal Executive Management Training Programme (State University of Management, Moscow).
