The award ceremony took place at a conference of suppliers and contractors organized by Norilsk Nickel Mining and Metallurgical Company (Norilsk Nickel MMC) as part of its procurement development.

OKB MIKRON (a part of the KANEX Group) was recognised as an honoured client. Certificate of appreciation for trustworthy business relations and successful partnership was handed to Dmitry Salov, CEO, by Sergey Batekhin, Senior Vice-President and Head of the Norilsk Nickel Sales, Commerce and Logistics Department.

KANEX, which will have its 25th anniversary next year, began its way supplying industrial products to Norilsk Nickel. For a quarter of a century, this industrial giant has been a strategic partner of the group.

As underlined by Aleksandr Kantsurov, Chairman of the Board, it is exactly Nornickel that influenced KANEX to be what it is today, "Having emerged as a trading house, we gradually enhanced our competencies along the entire chain of creating values for our key customer. And today we are capable of offering customers a full operating cycle to create an effective mining enterprise, from research and design to maintenance service of constructed buildings, structures and workings."
