History

2023: Lawsuit and bankruptcy claim from Sampleks

On October 11, 2023, it became known that Sampleks LLC went to court with a demand to bankrupt Gazprom's system integrator, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya. According to available information, the process is related to unpaid debts.

Samplex is a Russian manufacturer of insulated steel pipes and connecting parts that are used in the construction and reconstruction of oil and gas facilities. The company's website says that the geography of activities covers all the main oil and gas regions of the Russian Federation - from the Barents Sea in the north-west to Kamchatka in the east. Customers are the largest subsoil users of Russia, such as Rosneft, Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, Novatek.

Sampleks appealed to the court with a demand to bankrupt Gazprom avtomatizatsiya

According to CNews, in the framework of the bankruptcy case, Sampleks demands to take interim measures in the form of a ban on shareholders to reorganize Gazprom avtomatizatsiya, and government agencies to amend the Unified State Register of Legal Entities in relation to the company. A possible reason for going to court is the debt of Gazprom Automation under the contract for the supply of goods, which was concluded in March 2022. In accordance with the terms of this document, Sampleks supplied Gazprom with products worth 332.4 million rubles for the Bovanenkovo-Labytnangi-Long-Yugan-Nadym Technological Communications facility. The customer accepted the goods, but did not pay for them in full.

In March 2023, Sampleks went to court, demanding the return of 161.6 million rubles: this claim was satisfied in full. Gazprom avtomatizatsiya is also obliged to pay a penalty of 5.3 million rubles. Thus, the total amount is 166.9 million rubles. It is also noted that from September to October 2023, at least three more companies filed lawsuits against PJSC Gazprom avtomatizatsiya for a total of 181.3 million rubles.^[1]

2021

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya reached a loss of 4.8 billion rubles

In 2021, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya 's revenue decreased by 27% compared to 2020, amounting to 19.45 billion rubles, follows from the company's financial reporting. The company received a net loss of about 4.8 billion rubles against a net profit of 50.8 million rubles a year earlier. In the ranking TAdviser100: The largest IT companies in Russia 2022 the company "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya" took 31st place. The revenue from the financial statements for 2020-2021 is indicated. Excluding VAT.

The Gazprom avtomatizatsiya report for 12 months states that the decrease in revenue in 2021 is due to the withdrawal from projects for facilities in Omsk: for the project for the construction of the ELOU-AUT complex (primary oil processing unit) located on the territory of Gazpromneft - ONPZ, for the complex of construction, installation and commissioning works at the treatment facilities "Gazpromneft-ONPZ." The scope of work planned for 2021 was not fulfilled for these facilities.

The construction of the ELOU-AVT primary oil processing plant at the Omsk Oil Refinery is carried out as part of the second stage of a large-scale modernization of Gazprom Neft's oil refining assets, indicated on the Gazprom avtomatizatsiya website. The latter is the general construction contractor of the ELOU-AVT complex of the Omsk refinery.

In July 2021, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya announced the completion of installation and commissioning of electrical equipment at the ELOU-AUT construction site at the Omsk Oil Refinery "(photo - gazprom-auto.ru)"

The project has been going on for several years. In 2021, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya sued its contractor for this project, SK Sibmontazhproekt, citing the fact that the company violated the terms of the contract. SK Sibmontazhproekt became a contractor in 2020, now it is undergoing bankruptcy proceedings initiated at its own request in October. Omsk media wrote that its employees had complaints about the payment of salaries.

As for the net profit of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya, its decrease is largely due to a decrease in "other income," according to the company's annual statements. What we are talking about here, in "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya" did not specify TAdviser. In 2021, the company received "other income" in the amount of about 670 million rubles, of which about 10 million are income from participation in other organizations. In 2020, similar indicators amounted to about 6 billion and 95 million rubles, respectively.

Commercial expenses of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya in 2021 increased by 9%, management - by 14%. The main reason for this was unplanned expenses associated with a change in the structure of the company, indicated in the financial accounting. In 2021, the average number, including part-time and civil law employees, decreased by 125 people. The main decrease was due to the reduction in the number of a separate unit of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya in Omsk.

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya does not comment on its financial results and the project at Gazpromneft-ONPZ.

The company sees promising areas of activity in 2022, first of all, participation in infrastructure projects for the reconstruction and development of the Unified Gas Supply System, the implementation of design, construction and installation works and the supply of equipment to key facilities of the Gazprom Group, its annual report says.

The sales policy of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya for 2022 does not imply sharp changes - the priority remains the market of Gazprom enterprises and ensuring complex supplies of products for such key projects as MG Power of Siberia, Kovyktinskoye NGKM, SMG UkhtaTorzhok (3 lines), etc.

At the same time, it is planned to expand and scale work on entering sales markets that are third-party in relation to the Gazprom group. The company notes in its reporting that, due to its specialization, it is dependent on orders from Gazprom companies and other enterprises of the industry, which makes it sensitive to changes in demand on their part and the risks arising in connection with this.

CEO changed in "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya"

According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, in December 2021, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya changed its general director. Instead of Dmitry Zhuravlev, Nikolai Bobrikov was appointed to this position. According to TAdviser, Dmitry Zhuravlev no longer works not only in this company, but also in Gazstroyprom, where he was previously employed part-time.

2020

Revenue and profit "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya" showed a sharp decline. COVID-19 is to blame, but not only

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya 's revenue (excluding subsidiaries) in 2020 decreased by 42.24% compared to 2019, to 26.803 billion rubles excluding VAT, which follows from the company's annual report. This allowed her to take 23rd place in the ranking of TAdviser100: The largest IT companies in Russia 2021.

This decrease in turnover is largely due to the fact that in 2019 the period of the main supplies of equipment for the construction of the Amur GPP fell, the company explains in its annual report. The revenue indicator was also affected by the closure of a significant part of the construction of the ELOU-AVT complex (electric demineralization plant, atmospheric-vacuum pipe - primary oil processing plant) located on the territory of Gazpromneft - ONPZ, and the construction of the Power of Siberia main gas pipeline.

The decrease in the amount of revenue was also affected by the epidemiological situation in the country associated with COVID-19.

In the context of an unstable economic situation in 2020, caused by the threat of the spread of coronavirus infection COVID-19, the main indicators of the company's activities could not be due to an absolutely stable order portfolio, the annual report said.

COVID-19 was among the factors that influenced the company's revenue "(photo - expoclub.ru)"

And net profit in 2020 decreased even more - from about 2.26 billion to 50.83 million rubles - that is, 44.5 times. The decrease in net profit is largely due to a decrease in income from participation in subsidiaries, explains in the annual report of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya. This revenue item showed a decrease from 2.35 billion to 95 billion rubles.

At the same time, in 2020, commercial expenses of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya decreased by 55%, and management expenses by 20%. The main reason that influenced this was the reduction in the wage bill. In 2020, labor costs decreased by 17.2% compared to 2019.

At the same time, the average number of employees, including part-time and contract workers, did not decrease, but grew by 2%, to 1.22 thousand people. And labor productivity in 2020 compared to last year decreased by 43%, the data are given in the annual report of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya.

The priority for the company remains the market of Gazprom Group enterprises. In 2021, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya connects promising areas of its activities primarily with participation in the projects of the Gazprom Group, as well as with participation in the project of a large-scale modernization of Gazprom Neft's oil refining assets at the Omsk Refinery.

At the same time, the reduction in Gazprom's investment program and the reduction in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya 's order portfolio indicates as one of the main risks for itself.

The financial indicators of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya, we can say, to some extent followed the indicators of its main customer: the profit attributable to the shareholders of PJSC Gazprom in 2020 decreased by 88.7% compared to the previous year, or 8.8 times. If in 2019 it amounted to more than 1.2 trillion rubles, then in 2020 - only 135.3 billion rubles. The main reasons for the decline were the depreciation of the ruble and the fall in gas^[2] prices, ^[3].

The priority area of ​ ​ activity of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya, as in previous years, is the development of its own production, according to its annual report. In 2021, it will be aimed at bringing to the market the following types of products: serial automated control systems using only domestic software products; consumption measuring equipment and gas quality control systems using in-house electronics; serial automobile gas-filling compressor stations in a monoblock mobile version and a number of other products.

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya notes the continuation of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its activities in the 1st quarter of 2021, which follows from its quarterly report. During this period, year-on-year, its revenue decreased by 26.8%, to about 2.57 billion rubles, and the net loss increased year-on-year by 23 times, to 636.8 million rubles.

The largest co-owner of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya got rid of his stake in the company

In October 2020, businessman Avsholum Yunaev ceased control in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya, follows from the company's message on the information disclosure website. He joined the company, which was previously part of the Gazprom group, in 2014. By the time he left it, Yunaev owned 65.57% of the voting shares through the Investment Company Parity, Production Company Energy Union and Energoactive organizations controlled by him. Now these organizations no longer participate in Gazprom avtomatizatsiya.

According to "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya," the shares of these companies passed to three new shareholders. The largest share - 24.99% - was received by Magras LLC. The company was formed in 2004. According to the database of legal entities Kontur.Fokus, "its only participant is Sergey Zabarchuk, who is also the co-founder of the law firm of the same name.

However, the business associated with projects in the gas industry is not new for Sergei Zabarchuk. He has experience as a general director at Stroygazconsulting-Sever, a company from the Stroygazconsulting group of companies. Until 2013, it was one of Gazprom's main construction contractors.

The largest co-owner of "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya" left the company "(photo - gazprom-auto.ru)"

A share of 24.43% of voting shares was received by Gazstroyprom JSC. It was founded in 2018 and is positioned on its website as a multidisciplinary company that performs a full range of work as part of the implementation of infrastructure projects for the production, processing and transportation of natural gas. It also says that its customers are enterprises of the Gazprom group.

The ownership structure of Gazstroyprom according to the databases of legal entities is not obvious, since this joint-stock company is not public. In the list of Gazprom affiliates in March 2020, this company was still present as belonging to the Gazprom group, but was later excluded from it. Gazstroyprom is no longer present in the list of Gazprom affiliates for September 2020.

According to the Interfax agency, Gazstroyprom was created by Gazprom and Gazprombank on the basis of the assets of Stroygazconsulting cleared of debts and court claims^[4].

In June 2020, RBC wrote with reference to sources that Gazstroyprom was conceived as a new single supplier of Gazprom, which would be formed by the consolidation of contractors^[5] of^[6]According to the newspaper, against this background, several top managers of Gazprom's three large contractors - Stroygazmontazh, Stroytransneftegaz and Gazprom avtomatizatsiya - previously took senior positions at Gazstroyprom. Among them, RBC also named Dmitry Zhuravlev, general director and co-owner of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya: in December 2019, he became the first deputy general director of Gazstroyprom.

A share of 16.15% of voting shares went to Odeon LLC. According to the database of legal entities Kontur.Fokus, "the only founder of this company, formed in 2019, is Vladimir Ruchkin. Odeon owns 16.09% of ordinary shares in Lengazspetsstroy, follows from the report of the latter for the 2nd quarter of 2020. This company is the main construction asset of the Stroygazmontazh group. One of the largest projects in which Stroygazmontazh acts as a contractor is the construction of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline.

According to the database of legal entities Kontur.Fokus, "as of September 30, 2020, in addition to Avsholum Yunaev's companies, the largest co-owner of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya is also Dmitry Zhuravlev, who owns a share of about 20% in the company through Energy Solutions LLC.

Changes in the ownership structure of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya were preceded by a successful year in terms of financial indicators: its revenue in 2019 excluding the turnover of subsidiaries increased by 36%, to 46.4 billion rubles, net profit - by 451%, to 2.26 billion rubles. At the end of 2019, the company paid record dividends - about 2 billion rubles, according to the Kontur. Focus database.

At the same time, in 2019, the number of new government contracts concluded by Gazprom avtomatizatsiya significantly decreased compared to 2017 and 2018. So, if in 2018 she entered into about 60 state contracts, then in 2019 their number decreased to 8 contracts. And in the first 10 months of 2020, the company does not have a single new concluded state contract, according to data in the database "Kontur. Focus." By coincidence, in July 2019, Gazprom left Mikhail Sirotkin, one of the main procurement curators, who worked in the group for almost 20 years.

It follows from the same base that as of 2020, there are a total of 18 organizations potentially related to Gazprom avtomatizatsiya, the total revenue of which at the end of 2019 amounted to about 31 billion rubles. The largest of them in terms of turnover is Servicegazavtomatika: its revenue in 2019 reached about 14 billion rubles.

Accusation of Colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dmitry Zakharchenko of taking bribes from the head of "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya" for "general patronage"

In February 2020, it became known that the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) accuses the ex-colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Dmitry Zakharchenko of two new episodes of receiving bribes "for general patronage." In total, from 2007 to 2016, the former deputy head of the T department of the GUEBiPK received about 850 thousand rubles. from the management of the Gazpr om avtomatizatsiya company. The bribe was handed over to a police officer in the form of payment for rest at the Grand Hotel Polyana and Polyana 1389 Hotel and Spa at ski resorts in Sochi.

According to the prosecution, for the remuneration of specific services, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not provide, but only carried out general patronage of bribe-givers.

According to the TFR, Mr. Zakharchenko committed the crime at the end of 2015. Then the officer was already the deputy head of the department "T" of the GUEBiPK. As the investigators established, out of selfish motives, the accused Zakharchenko agreed to provide "general patronage" to Avsholum Yunaev, who in the same 2015 was elected to the board of directors of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya OJSC, and in February 2020 is the chairman of the board of directors of this structure. Mr. Yunaev thanked his patron by paying for the New Year's holiday in 2015-2016 in Sochi's Grand Hotel Polyana and Polyana 1389 Hotel and Spa. A two-week stay in these hotel complexes cost Mr. Zakharchenko almost 850 thousand rubles.

We also note that Avsholum Yunaev is not on the TFR lists among those accused of giving a bribe. Apparently, he was released from criminal liability in connection with active repentance.

Lawyer Yuri Novikov, representing the interests of Dmitry Zakharchenko, told Kommersant that his client does not admit his guilt in the alleged crimes and he does not understand the essence of the accusation.

Another lawyer Valery Tunikova said that in the episode with Mr. Yunaev, according to her, there is no corpus delicti.

"Dmitry Viktorovich (Zakharchenko. - 'Kommersant') remembered this story. His neighbor Yunaev offered vouchers, which for some reason could not be used by his relative or acquaintance, and Zakharchenko bought them, "she noted[7].

2019: Gazprom avtomatizatsiya profit up 451%

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya 's revenue (excluding subsidiaries) in 2019 increased by 36% compared to 2018, to 46.4 billion rubles, according to the company's annual report. Net profit in the reporting period increased by 451%, to 2.26 billion rubles.

• Power of Siberia trunk gas pipeline;
• construction of the ELOU-AVT complex (electric demineralization plant, atmospheric-vacuum tube) located on the territory of Gazpromneft - ONPZ;

The reporting says that the commercial expenses of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya in 2019 increased by 30%, and management expenses decreased by 14%. The main reason for the decrease in management costs was a decrease in the wage bill and insurance premiums, the company explains.

Earlier, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya was identified as the sole executor of work in a number of projects of the Gazprom group. It also remains the main consumer of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya products, as can be seen from the annual report. At the same time, the company is heading for diversification of the customer pool.

For the Amur Gas Processing Plant (GPP), in particular, which is expected to become the largest in Russia and the second most powerful natural gas processing enterprise in the world, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya completed the production and supply of automation systems and communication systems for two stages of construction in 2019. And for Power of Siberia, the company in 2019 completed the manufacture and supply of automated control systems, telemechanics, communications, energy equipment and metrology to facilities.

Among other things, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya participates in the implementation of projects within the framework of the comprehensive target program for the development of Gazprom's unified information space, approved in 2017.

The annual report says that there was a cancellation of the competitive selection procedure organized by Gazprom for the provision of equipment maintenance and maintenance services for Oracle software for Gazprom Inform, in which Gazprom avtomatizatsiya was recognized as the winner. Due to the cancellation of the competitive selection procedure, an agreement with Gazprom avtomatizatsiya was not concluded.

According to the database of legal entities Kontur.Fokus, "the number of new concluded state contracts in 2019 at" Gazprom avtomatizatsiya "has significantly decreased compared to 2017 and 2018. So, if in 2018 it entered into about 60 state contracts, then in 2019 their number decreased to 8 contracts. And in the first half of 2020, the company does not have a single new state contract in the database.

The largest in 2019, according to Kontur. Fokus, was a state contract with Gazprom Dobycha Noyabrsk in the amount of about 454 million rubles for the supply of equipment for the construction of facilities included in the construction of the DKS Eti-Purovsky gas field.

Commercial and management expenses, on the contrary, increased: by 18.5% and 7.5%, respectively, follows from the annual report.

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya explained the decline in financial indicators to TAdviser by the fact that, having adopted an extensive investment program, the company updated its technological fleet by equipping production facilities with new equipment. This made it possible to expand the range of equipment produced.

Actively implementing the import substitution program, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya over the past year has launched the production of 14 units of new products with an average share of domestic components of 95%. The development and organization of production also required certain costs, the company told TAdviser. - Due to these factors, the indicators that are projected to grow next year have slightly decreased.

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya added that in 2015 it is possible to generally state a slowdown in the growth rate of the market segment against the background of external negative factors. The portfolios of orders for the industry as a whole decreased due to the suspension of the implementation of a number of projects.

After leaving Gazprom, the group's companies continue to be the main customers of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya: services and work for them in 2015 accounted for 97% of its total revenue.

The company's plans include the development of business in sales markets external to Gazprom.

This amount exceeds the planned volume for the past year by almost 500 million rubles, according to the company's corporate publication.

2013

Financial results of the year: revenue reduction by 42%

In 2013, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya 's revenue (excluding subsidiaries) decreased by 42% - from 38.886 billion rubles. up to 22.545 billion rubles, follows from the report on the financial results of the company. The company's net profit for the year decreased by 87% - from 482.257 million rubles. up to 62.167 million rubles.

In the company's annual report issued at the end of June 2014, the decrease in turnover following the results of the past year is explained by a change in the structure of Gazprom's investment program: in particular, a decrease in the share of work performed within the framework of the Gazprom avtomatizatsiya specialization.

Another reason for the reduction in revenue in the company is the organizational measures at Gazprom related to the transfer of customer functions for overhaul, construction and design and survey work from Gazprom Inform to Gazprom Central Repair.

In its report, Gazprom avtomatizatsiya notes that in order to ensure the efficient operation of the company in the context of a significant decrease in revenues from its main activities, its board of directors paid great attention to the formation of executive bodies of management: in the summer of 2013 , a new general director was elected, and subsequently the composition of the board was almost completely updated.

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya has updated its top management staff

After the appointment of the new general director of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya Dmitry Zhuravlev in June 2013, the company almost completely updated the composition of key top managers within about six months.

The first personnel changes began in August-September 2013 with the appointment of the first deputy general director Maxim Isaev, deputy general director for economics and finance - Dmitry Nikonchuk and deputy general director for commercial issues - Artem Krestyaninov.

Krestyanov, in particular, is the director of Investgazavtomatika, a subsidiary of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya, combining this position with the position of a member of the board of Gazprom avtomatizatsiya. Isaev had previously worked at Gazprom avtomatizatsiya (then still called Gazavtomatika): in 2008-2009. he served as the first deputy general director of this company, and later moved to a similar position at Gazprom inform.

The previous first deputy general director Anatoly Naumets, who, after the dismissal of Yuri Raushkin, served for some time as the head of the company, as well as Alexei Davydov, who worked at Gazprom avtomatizatsiya as the head of the financial and economic department, and the former deputy general director for commercial issues Anatoly Viktorovich Sementsov were prematurely removed from the board of the board.

"In 2012, there were no such significant facilities and, accordingly, the limits on the capital construction plan of Gazprom were significantly lower than the level of the previous year," the Gazprom Automation report says. - For other types of activities, volumes remained either at the same level or increased.

Since 2011 - Yuri Rauskin has been appointed General Director of OJSC Gazprom avtomatizatsiya.

On July 21, 2011, the chairman of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, received a letter from the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (later published by Novaya Gazeta, citing a source in Gazprom). Judging by the text of the letter signed by the acting Head of the Department for the Investigation of Organized Criminal Activities in the Field of Economics Victor Tsymbal, the investigation did not subside at all, but works fruitfully, but without any press releases, detentions and the like. The letter states that the investigation established the fact of theft only through one intermediary company for 2009 from Gazprom OJSC more than 300 million rubles. The entire supply chain through intermediary firms was opened, their CEOs were questioned, who testified that their actions were managed by Gazavtomatika OJSC. Moreover, the investigation, judging by the text of the letter, already has the first candidates for suspects from among the managers of subsidiaries of Gazavtomatika OJSC.

However, a NG source also said that the whole story is not taken very seriously inside Gazprom: there is an opinion that such an asset as Gazprom is unlikely to seriously shake the special services - the role of the gas giant in the life of the country is too great.

2010

Searches of the Investigative Committee

On January 21, 2010, the Investigative Department of the FSB of Russia opened a criminal case on the fact of extortion of Part 3 of Art. 30 (paragraphs "a" and "b") and part 4. Art. 204 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in relation to the first deputy general director of Servicegazavtomatika Yuri Tkachenko. The latter, in fact, extorted a multimillion-dollar illegal cash reward from one of the company's subcontractors. Tkachenko, it seems, acted with a group of persons by prior conspiracy.

On January 26, 2010, the powers of Alexander Kochetov, director of Firm Servicegazavtomatika LLC, were terminated ahead of schedule.

In February 2010, a press release was issued by the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, revealing the theft at Gazprom of more than 60 million rubles. during the supply of products by Gazavtomatika OJSC. As part of the investigation, searches were carried out at Gazavtomatika OJSC, its subsidiaries Investgazavtomatika LLC and Servicegazavtomatika Firm LLC, as well as a number of other structures. By this time, Shamkin had already been fired from Investgazavtomatika. As it turns out, his powers were terminated ahead of schedule on December 24, 2009. According to the investigation, unreasonably involved intermediaries involved in the acquisition of power equipment for the needs of Gazprom by subsidiaries of Gazavtomatika were identified in the procurement chain. The Investigative Committee argued that the cost of the equipment was deliberately overestimated. That is, it was about banal fraud. A criminal case was initiated on the fact that a group of persons committed theft of funds by fraud on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

At the same time, as Irina Dudukina, a representative of the Investigative Committee under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, told the Vzglyad newspaper, "all these companies sold equipment to each other, as a result, the cost of goods paid by Gazprom increased many times. A chain of eight to nine intermediaries worked. " What is curious, at the time of this statement, according to Dudukina, "the persons involved in the case have not yet been determined." But, the interlocutor of the newspaper promised, "the suspects will appear."

Gazavtomatika, Investgazavtomatika and Servicegazavtomatika (see above 2007) were involved, according to the investigation, in fraud.

On March 12, 2010, the board of directors of Gazavtomatika OJSC again elected Raushkin as general director for three years.

At this time, Gazavtomatika OJSC is a member of Gazprom Tsentrremont LLC holding company with influential patron managers originally from St. Petersburg, including the right hand of the general director - Sergey Palkin. After that, the incident with the investigation of the Investigative Committee came to naught.

50th Anniversary Celebrations, Leadership Awards

At the end of 2010, the 50th anniversary of Gazavtomatika OJSC is celebrated with fanfare - Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom OJSC, personally congratulates the management of Gazavtomatika OJSC, especially noting that "the staff of OJSC Gazavtomatika is coping with all the tasks..." At the same time, Deputy Director of Gazprom Tsentrremont LLC Sergey Palkin was awarded a special award by Gazprom for his outstanding contribution to the development of the gas industry.

2007: Yuri Rauskin appointed CEO

In 2007, the general director of the small company Gazpromavtomatika from Orenburg, Yuri Rauskin, was appointed to the post of general director of Gazavtomatika OJSC.

In 2007, Raushkin signed an order to create a subsidiary of Gazavtomatika OJSC under the name Gazavtomatika Trading House (later renamed Investgazavtomatika LLC^[8]. Judging by the official version of the company's website, the trading house was created to be a representative of Gazavtomatika OJSC for the sale of products produced by Gazavtomatika subsidiaries. The position of director in the newly created trading house is received by Gennady Shamkin, who came to this post from the post of general director of Krechet LLC. "Krechet" is a hunting and sports complex in the Smolensk outback, which has everything you need to relax VIP guests.

Soon the management is changing in the "Company" Servicegazavtomatika "(another" daughter "of OJSC" Gazavtomatika "), which is engaged in the repair and maintenance of automation systems. Alexander Kochetov becomes the director of the company.

In 2008, Gazavtomatika Trading House signed an agreement with Krechet LLC on "organizing training for customer persons (that is, Gazavtomatika) on the territory of the contractor (hunting farm)." The editorial office of Novaya Gazeta has two documents confirming the payment of 3.4 million rubles to Krechet for the services rendered. And 5 million rubles^[8].

Since 2008, OJSC Gazavtomatika has been the general system integrator in the field of automated control systems of OJSC Gazprom.

Since 2009, OJSC Gazavtomatika has been acting as the Competence Center for the creation of IT systems of OJSC Gazprom.

1993: Conversion to "Gazautomatika"

Since 1990, VNPO Soyuzgazavtomatika has undergone a number of reorganizations and in 1993 was transformed into OAO Gazavtomatika. OJSC "Gazavtomatika" operates on the basis of the Charter approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders, registered in the Moscow Registration Chamber on August 5, 1993 (certificate of the MCI series No. 007.322) and entered in the State Register of Enterprises (certificate No. 3380.21 of June 20, 1994, OKPO 00159093).

1972: Creation of Soyuzgazavtomatika

In 1972, on the basis of the All-Union Scientific Research and Design Institute for Automated Control Systems in the Gas Industry (VNPIASUgazprom) and SKB Gazpriboravtomatika, the All-Union Scientific and Production Association for Automation of Management of Gas Industry Enterprises Soyuzgazavtomatika was formed. The association consolidated in a single organizational structure the entire process of creating new automation tools and systems and automated control from research and development to commissioning.

By 1980, six research institutes and design bureaus, a computing center, seven assembly and adjustment trusts and departments, and three experimental plants functioned in the structure of VNPO Soyuzgazavtomatika.

1960s: Becoming

The history of OJSC "Gazprom avtomatizatsiya" begins in 1960 with the formation of the Special Design Bureau for Instrumentation and Automation and Telemechanization of Trunk Pipelines - SKB "Gazpriborautomatika," which can be called the founder of technical progress in terms of automation of the gas industry, since it was actually the first specialized organization that together solved the problems of creating and developing industrial production, as well as the introduction of automation and telemechanics tools and systems.

By the mid-60s. SKB'Gazpriborautomatika', having passed the shortest period of formation and development, turned into an active engineering and design organization with a solid scientific, technical, production and installation base. An experimental plant was built in Kaliningrad, a production experimental base was created in Moscow, an organized installation and commissioning department. Subsequently, branches of SKB "Gazpriborautomatika" are created at the Kaliningrad Experimental Plant, in Kharkov, and then in Saratov. The structure of the organization includes the Saratov Experimental Plant.
