Awards for KAMAZ Employees

A ceremony of presentation of state awards and honorary titles of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan took place in the Palace of Celebrations in Naberezhnye Chelny.

Four KAMAZ employees were among the citizens of Naberezhnye Chelny who received state decorations for patriotism, allegiance to the loyalty oath and irreproachable service shown both in peace time and on battlefields and in places of catastrophes.

Rasul Garipov, Deputy Chief Engineer, Project Manager of Kama Press and Stamping Plant, and Nuria Nurieva, Main Specialist of Painting of the same subsidiary of KAMAZ, were awarded the honorary title “Honored Machine Builder of the Republic of Tatarstan”.

"The city and KAMAZ are inseparable," Rasul Garipov noted receiving his award. "I’m glad to see how the city built by us is developing. It is gratifying to know that KAMAZ’s employees make their great contribution to its development. I take this award as a deserved appreciation of many thousands of our workers. I wouldn’t have received it if it were not for our general director Sergey Kogoghin who set us a task to renew a model range of vehicles we produce."

Alongside with other citizens of Naberezhnye Chelny, Victor Alyashev, a participant in the rectification of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station, a maintenance man of a maintenance shop of KAMAZ-Metallurgy OJSC, was honored with a medal “For Courage”. Aleksandr Ryazanov, a worker of the same plant, a pourer, was thanked officially by the President of the RF and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the country for courage and bravery shown in the zone of Georgian-Ossetian conflict.
