01.12.2015  |  GlobeNewswire

MOSCOW, Dec. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mechel OAO (MICEX:MTLR) (NYSE:MTL), one of the leading Russian mining and metals companies, reports the appointment of Andrey Ponomarev as Chief Executive Officer of Mechel-Steel Management Company OOO. He will replace Vladimir Tytsky who left the company due to retirement.

Andrey Ponomarev, 38, has been working in various Mechel Group structures for over 16 years. In 1999, after graduating Southern Urals State University, he joined Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant as engineer in the specialty steels sales department. Since August 2012 until now, he served as first deputy of Mechel-Steel Management Company's chief executive officer.

"Andrey Ponomarev's professionalism is beyond any doubt. He is a top executive with a profound understanding of our national steel industry's trends and challenges. He stood at the inception of our international steel sales network Mechel Service which has become a leading player on the Russian market, and took active part in outlining a strategy for Mechel's steel division based on promoting high value-added products. Andrey will be tasked with ensuring stable development of the facilities he is entrusted with, and preserving the potential formed by the prior manager," Mechel OAO's Chief Executive Officer Oleg Korzhov noted.

Vladimir Tytsky is one of the most respected managers in Russia's steel industry. Over nearly half a century of his career, he went from Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant's chamotte ware workshop master to deputy of the plant's director, then moved to top posts in Mechel Group, heading the steel division for the past three years. It was under his direct leadership that despite unfavorable market conditions Mechel completed several important technological projects. That includes the launch of the universal rolling mill at Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant. The mill produces structural shapes and rails which are marketed both domestically and internationally in a successful example of import substitution. Vladimir Tytsky has been awarded several state and industry awards, including the rank of "Russian Federation's Honored Steelmaker". Vladimir Tytsky has also been elected as deputy to the Moscow Region's parliament.

"Vladimir's working career is an example of devotion and perfect service to his profession. I would like to note his extraordinary contribution to the development of the company's steel division. Speaking on behalf of thousands of Mechel's employees and myself personally, I offer him our sincerest gratitude for his hard work and wish him all the best," Chairman of Mechel OAO's Board of Directors Igor Zyuzin said.

Prior to his appointment, Andrey Ponomarev worked as first deputy chief executive officer of Mechel-Steel Management Company OOO since 2012. In 2009-2012, he headed Mechel Service Global B.V. in the Netherlands. In 2005-2009, he served as managing director of Mechel Service OOO. In 2002-2005, he occupied various posts in Uglemet Trading OOO and Trade House Mechel OOO. In 2000-2002, he was chief of the analysis bureau in Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant's marketing and sales service. In 1999-2000, he served as engineer in the specialty steels sales department in Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant's marketing and sales.
