We will talk about workers, including their earnings, but not a few words about the enterprise and its owners. Let's be objective: by the standards of the Soviet-Russian experience, what the company has done over its short history of life in Russia does not fit into the idea of the possible.
The first stone was laid in the foundation of the plant in the summer of 2008, and only 2.5 years later, in January 2011, Solaris had already left the assembly line. And how did the sales go! According to the initial project, the company calculated on the production of 150 thousand cars a year. But it soon became clear that there wasn’t enough for everyone who wanted it, and they quickly increased their capacities to 200 thousand. Release is at a speed of 41 cars / hour.

Korean capitalists in Russia are not altruists, of course, make a profit. However, let us suppress the class rejection of the rich. Today, investments in the St. Petersburg plant amounted to $ 600 million. The amount, however … And everyone in their mind wants to return the investment.
So what did we all get? Domestic car market - decent B-class cars, St. Petersburg - jobs. If at first the work went in one shift, now now in three - around the clock. The personnel of Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Rus (KHMR) is 2, 200 people. They are increasing production volumes with bare hands, automating processes at every stage of assembly. The factory technological chain includes stamping, welding, painting, assembly - which forms the production, as it is called, of a full cycle. This type of production requires an agreement between the Korean company and the Government of the Russian Federation.

Another photo taken in the welding workshop, giving additional information to the initiates. To make the impression better, the photojournalist tried to take a shot so that there would be more sparks. It didn’t work: there is very little splashing fire here. But in other welding factories, everything sparkles like that … Later, welding experts explained: this is because the equipment is extremely accurate. The distance of approach of the welding machine end switch is calculated up to microns, not an instant earlier or later, an electrical impulse is turned on and off. Moreover, the quality of welding is not just an excellent reference. Another photo taken in the welding workshop, giving additional information to the initiates.

There is more and more modern equipment, but it has not forced people out of the gate: as the second and third shifts were created, good hands and heads remained in demand. It’s not very easy to get a place “from the street”, they are strictly selected for a vacant vacancy (which is rare). For example, factory workers accept the positions of operators of nodal technological processes themselves and “through an X-ray”, without relying on the recommendations of recruiting agencies.

Forgive the guy who is standing with his back - he is busy. This is a stamper, or rather, a stamping operator. The process takes place behind the glass, in the chamber: the blanks of body parts pass through several giant presses, manipulators move the blanks. It is necessary to track that everything worked properly. Since the plant produces four models of machines, press equipment is replaced from time to time. Replacement lasts 10 minutes. These pauses do not affect the rhythm of the conveyor. Forgive the guy who is standing with his back - he is busy. This is a stamper, or rather, a stamping operator.

What kind of joy does the Hyundai factory in St. Petersburg have from the fact that the company was recently named the best of the 26 factories of the Hyundai Motor Company empire? Obviously, the achievement for Korean top managers will be counted, they will certainly be awarded. But what about the workers?

They cherish the skillful here and do a lot to make labor at the enterprise not only attractive for pay. The plant is located a few kilometers outside the boundaries of St. Petersburg, however, townspeople, visitors, residents of neighboring regions of the Leningrad Region work on it. Nobody is late: KhMMR has a large fleet of buses, they take employees to shift and back to metro stations and other points convenient for people.
The food in the dining room is decent (journalists tasted it), the menu has plenty to choose from. Corporate holidays are designed for the age of the team: most are less than 30 years old. It is not surprising that football tournaments are the most popular of them. For family - Family Days: unimpeded access to the territory for wives, children, mother-in-law and father-in-law opens, they are allowed to go everywhere. Seen in the workshops raises the breadwinners' authority with Hyundai.

Ten minutes for a smoke break. The guys said that there are two such breaks per shift, the third - lunch. There are no smoking areas on the premises, only on the street, in specially designated places, at some entrances to the building. In case of bad weather, pavilions with transparent walls (in the background, behind the crowd). Actually, the impression was that they would rather go out to smoke breaks to communicate. Well, and call … Ten minutes for a smoke break. The guys said that there are two such breaks per shift, the third - lunch.

But about salary. It is not customary to disclose the earnings of skilled workers, even the size of the average for the plant. But there is no secret that a school graduate who has won a place can count on 32 thousand rubles. per month, and from the new, 2013 - by 36 thousand. Pay will increase, of course, not only for beginners, but for all staff: salaries will be indexed by 12-12.5%, managers said.
The figure was discouraging: after all, the inflation rate in Russia this year is expected to be at 6.5%. Why are you, the Za Rulem. RF correspondent asked, promise almost twice as much?

When the Solaris began to roll off the assembly line, Vladimir Putin visited the plant as an honorary guest, and left an autograph on the hood of the car. This car is not for sale, the bonnet also. When the Solaris began to roll off the assembly line, Vladimir Putin visited the plant as an honorary guest, and left an autograph on the hood of the car. This car is not for sale, the bonnet also.
The answer was unexpected - you do not expect this from the capitalists. Because according to the results of 11 months, the plant produced almost 205 thousand cars, by the end of the year only over 225 thousand will roll off the assembly line. Recall: the design capacity of the enterprise is lower - 200 thousand. That is, the team worked for a year in 13 months. And everything that is produced quickly sells out. So that the profit will be sufficient so that people get what they have earned by right. This is their New Year's joy.

Success came to the St. Petersburg plant X1ndé and because the automaker surrounded himself with a dense ring of suppliers of components, he literally “brought” them with him. There are 11 of them and they are located in the Leningrad region, and some are under one roof with the main production. The closest neighbor is MOBIS. She makes dashboards, bumpers and other parts and assemblies. It is noteworthy that many areas are occupied by stockpiled items. They explained to us: with Hyundai keep your eyes open - it constantly accelerates the pace, so you need to be prepared for any such surprises.
