The name of the Russian manager Valery Viktorovich Maltsev is inextricably linked with OJSC Rostselmash, which he has been heading for a decade and a half. In 2002, the new leader took up the restoration of the enterprise and saved it from bankruptcy. The director paid special attention to the main problem: the full repayment of wage and tax debts. Rostselmash went through a restructuring and completely renewed its production park. All these measures helped the association to become one of the leaders in the domestic agricultural engineering industry.
The beginning of the way
Valery was born in 1971 in the Southern Urals. His biography began in the small town of Chebarkul, Chelyabinsk region. Having received a certificate of secondary education, the young man decided to continue his studies in Moscow. In 1993, Valery received a diploma from the Moscow Institute of Aviation, the specialization of a young engineer was the device of aircraft.
The next few years Maltsev happened to work in the Novoe Sodruzhestvo group of companies. He continued his successful career start in 1996, when he received the chair of the general director of the Moscow CJSC "New Mylovar", then became one of the leaders of CJSC "Aviastar-SP" in Ulyanovsk.
In 2001, Maltsev returned to the "New Commonwealth" already as the head of the industrial union. The successful leader became a member of the Central body of the movement of domestic agrarians, and also took part in the work of an organization that brought together industrial workers and entrepreneurs of the country, was involved in the issues of Russia's membership in the WTO.
Rostselmash
At the end of 2002, Valery Vladimirovich was appointed General Director of Rostselmash OJSC in Rostov-on-Don. After the reorganization, the enterprise received the name of Rostselmash Combine Plant OJSC.
The history of the enterprise goes back to the 20s of the last century, at the same time it released its first products. The plant's contribution to the development of Soviet agricultural engineering was enormous, since 1973 the mass production of Niva combine harvesters began. In the mid-1980s, a technical university was opened on the basis of Rostselmash, which trained specialists for the industry.
In the 90s, the enterprise experienced a crisis, financial assistance from the Industrial Union "New Commonwealth" helped to overcome it. The investor not only stopped the bankruptcy of the enterprise, but also helped it reach a new level of development.
In 2004, Rostselmash launched the production of the VEKTOR grain harvester. The new machine took into account all the modern tendencies of the world combine harvester building. Soon, taking into account the needs of the market, new modifications of the harvester appeared, intended for farms and processing a small area. In 2005, the Russian company was awarded a medal at the international innovation competition in France.
In the next 3 years, a plant for the production of tractors in Canada and a company Klever, which produces attachments and trailed equipment, joined Rostselmash. After significant investments, the company started serial production of ACROS products and the TORUM rotary harvester. In 2009, an American company became part of the enterprise, which made it possible to start production of agricultural sprayers.
Head of JSC
Valery Maltsev headed Rostselmash at a difficult time for the company. In a short time, taking into account the advanced technologies, and expanding the geography of supply of combines, the head was able to bring the enterprise into the top five leaders in the production of agricultural machinery. By 2010, 18 types of agricultural machines, more than a hundred modifications of combines, tractors and equipment for harvesting forage were leaving the conveyors of the OJSC. In the summer of 2010, it became known about the world record in soil cultivation by Rostselmash companies. The company made a major breakthrough in 2013, increasing the export of equipment by 20%, and over the next 2 years - by another 30% when compared with previous seasons.
Crisis is not a hindrance
Despite the general drop in the level of the agricultural machinery market, growth in production volumes is observed at Rostselmash. Today the company sends its products for export to thirty countries of the world, annually opening 2-3 new markets. The main importers of Russian combines and tractors are the countries of Eastern Europe, Asia and the Baltic. Most recently, trade agreements have been signed with the United States and Canada. In 2016, the first cars went to Serbia, Croatia, Tajikistan, Iran and the UK.
As the head of the enterprise, Valery Maltsev considers the top-priority tasks to increase the range of products and expand the geography of exports. Everyone knows Russia as a famous supplier of oil, gas and defense products, and yet not so long ago our country had the strongest production potential. The head of Rostselmash is confident that very soon Russian companies will take their place in the world market, and export will become the main condition for growth. Already today, thanks to the creation of a single export center in Russia, many associations operate in the “one window” system, but this area requires adjustments in customs and tax legislation. In addition, Maltsev believes that enterprises of this level need state support in the field of product certification and technical testing. The Russian government is ready to support the Russian agrarian sector, which shows little dynamics, but is developing. This is evidenced by a number of decrees aimed at updating the machine park of the agro-industrial complex.
How does he live today
According to Kommersant, since 2004 Valery Viktorovich Maltsev has been one of the 1000 most professional managers in Russia. The Rostselmash enterprise and its manager are not satisfied with what has already been achieved and are constantly improving production. The CEO of the company plans to maintain high investments in its development and maintain stability.
Little is known about Valery Maltsev's family; for the general public, his personal life remains in the shadows. Together with his wife, he is raising three children: two daughters and a son.
