The application of new and efficient engineering and technological solutions also plays a vital role,” highlighted Nikolay Poponin, JSC Dalur Director General. In 2013, the company’s employees submitted 17 proposals for improving the workflow, of which 12 proposals were implemented in the industrial practices.
