OREANDA-NEWS. Boeing delegation that visited all major VSMPO production areas on May 21, 2013 was headed by Kent Fisher, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president and general manager of Supplier Management. And if for Mr. Fisher it was for the first time that he saw how metal used for construction of all Boeing aircrafts is melted, his colleague John Byrne, one of Boeing VPs, is closely acquainted with Salda production: being Chairman of the Board of Directors of JV Ural Boeing Manufacturing, Mr. Byrne visited VSMPO shops many times.

Last time I visited Verkhnaya Salda in autumn last year. Today I’ve seen a lot of changes. New equipment has been installed, most conversion operations are upgraded. I’ve also noticed that shop buildings’ faces are coated in bright colours. Everything looks new and clean, Mr. Byrne shared his impressions.
