Assistance to emergency services
Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) gave ten thousand medical masks, one thousand respirators, five hundred disposable protective overalls and three hundred pairs of closed glasses/face covering as a gift to those who are at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus. The supplies have filled an entire warehouse of the ambulance station located on 18 Korobov street.
With the introduction of a high-alert regime in the Russian Federation and various restrictive measures in connection with the threat of COVID-19, the work of MMK's commercial service has undergone significant changes and acquired a special significance. According to MMK Commercial Director Sergey Nenashev, already in March, about 80% of the Company directorate's employees were switched to remote work to reduce the risk of infection. A the same time, the ability of employees to successfully work from home was facilitated by qualified support specialists from MMK-Informservice, as well as by the Company's effective digitalisation of its systems that was carried out as part of the Industry 4.0 strategic initiative.
