16. Dmitry Konov
Konov has put SIBUR – ranked №1 in ICIS’ Top-10 Central and Eastern European and Russian regional listing – into expansion mode organically and through acquisition.
The company is seeking 20% growth in China sales this year by setting up a marketing company and development plans for a joint venture with a local producer. It also has a slate of domestic projects under construction and due to come on stream by 2014.
There are also plans to further exploit Russia’s abundant gas feedstock gas reserves by building a 1m tonne/year pyrolysis gas (pygas) cracker at Tobolsk. A final decision will be made toward the end of next year, with start-up scheduled for 2015-2016. Konov has his sights on petrochemicals and rubber company Nizhnekamskneftekhim and chemical group Kazanorgsintez, should they become available.
