PLANT AND WE: FAITH AND FAITHFULNESS 03/16/2017 This motto above one of the production buildings of Ectos-Volga OJSC defines the daily life of its team. A lot has changed in recent years at the enterprise, which many still habitually call "Volzhsky rubber". Now, it is not the SKI-3 synthetic rubber that is produced here, but methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), which is used as a high-octane additive for motor gasolines. New technologies and production capacities were used. And now working here not 2,5-3 thousand, as in the Soviet years, but 582 people. But the traditions of the plant with almost half a century of history (it will be 50 years old in 2014) continue to live on. And this manifests itself in the most essential - in caring for people. “Today we have 25 veterans of the Great Patriotic War and home front workers,” says Olga Goreva, head of the personnel department of EKTOS-Volga OJSC. - For each holiday we congratulate them, provide them with material assistance, give flowers and gifts. We do not just invite them to the Victory Day celebrations, but we send factory transport for each veteran, set a festive table and arrange a concert. To remind veterans of the past and give them the opportunity to touch the current life of the enterprise, we conduct excursions around the factory territory for them. One of the most exciting events of the celebrations is the laying of flowers together with the heads of the enterprise to the stele in memory of the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. By the way, the monument, located not far from the factory entrance, was recently renovated. All labor veterans who retired from the Volzhsky Artificial Rubber Plant, OJSC Kauchuk and OJSC EKTOS-Volga (the names of the enterprise in different periods of its existence - author's note) are remembered on the Day of the Elderly, which is celebrated on October 1 ... There are about 400 of them today. “We keep in touch with each veteran, invite them to celebrations, arrange festive concerts for them, hand over financial assistance,” says Olga Leonidovna. - They are pleased to meet each other, to communicate. The traditions of veterans, who once built and launched a synthetic rubber plant in the steppe near Volzhsky, are adequately continued by the present team of EKTOS-Volga OJSC. Now he is solving equally difficult problems. The equipment park is being updated in order to increase the MTBE output to 139.8 thousand tons by the end of 2013, and in the coming years - to 160 thousand tons per year, which will correspond to the maximum design capacity of the technological chain. Moreover, this task is being solved without increasing the staff. “We want to do everything on our own,” says Olga Goreva. - There are human resources for this. Today the staff of the enterprise is 98% staffed, there are only 10 vacancies, and all of them are not in the main production workshops. Young professionals who have proven their competence have the opportunity for career growth. So this year young guys who started their careers at the enterprise from the position of an apparatchik came to the posts of heads of shops. На предприятии заботятся о повышении уровня технических знаний персонала. С этой целью заключен договор о сотрудничестве с Волжским политехническим институтом – филиалом ВолгГТУ. В соответствии с этим документом работники, желающие получить первое или второе высшее образование по направлению своей деятельности, получают возможность учиться за счет предприятия по очной или заочной форме обучения. Например, слесарь КИПиА может поступить на учебу по специальности «Автоматизация технологических процессов», а аппаратчик технологического цеха – по специальности «Химическая технология высокомолекулярных соединений». На предприятии всегда заботились о здоровье своих работников и их детей. Когда-то Волжский завод синтетического каучука располагал собственной сетью учреждений социальной сферы: у него имелись 2 детских сада, общежитие и турбаза. В последующие трудные годы сохранить все это не удалось. Но традиция заботы о людях продолжается: по договору с Волжским трубным заводом в принадлежащий ему детский оздоровительный лагерь «Сказка» работники ОАО «ЭКТОС-Волга» каждое лето посылают своих детей в возрасте от 6 до 15 лет. Так, прошлым летом в «Сказке» отдохнуло около 40 детей работников ОАО «ЭКТОС-Волга». Причем предприятие оплатило полностью стоимость путевки для каждого ребенка. In 2013, the implementation and health improvement programs for the employees of the enterprise began. So, in September, 4 people will undergo sanatorium treatment at the expense of EKTOS-Volga in Kislovodsk, Anapa and the local Elton sanatorium. A total of 18 workers submitted applications for sanatorium vouchers and medical certificates this year, and all of them will go to the sanatoriums. - So the shareholders of the enterprise decided, - Ms Goreva explained. - This will be an additional motivation for employees and will increase the attractiveness of EKTOS-Volga OJSC as an employer. No less important is the daily care that the company takes about its employees: providing them with hot meals, delivering shift personnel to work and home on holidays and weekends on a rented bus, and much more.
