MANAGEMENT AWARD FOR VOLGA-DNEPR TECHNICS GMBH


The Managing Director of Volga- Dnepr Technic GmbH, Ildar Ilyasov has won a special award in the annual ARISTOS-2013 awards ceremony in Moscow that celebrated the ‘best of the best’ in the Russian business community.

Volga-Dnepr’s Engineering & Logistics Centre also provided additional services including crane hire, terminal and apron freight handling.


“The transportation was performed professionally and with a high degree of responsibility.
