Despite the current state of international economies, ITERA
International Energy Company provides stability and consistent service to
its clients. The company started in 1992. Since its inception, it has grown to
be a vital provider of gas and oil products, as well as many other things.
The company is a privately owned business, and runs
its headquarters in Moscow.
Its many efforts to develop gas and oil found in Russian soil have proved
extremely successful. It continues to improve its business there.
The company began as a small commodities trading corporation.
In 1992, it delivered a shipment of sugar to Turkmenistan. As payment, the
Turkmeni government granted the trading group access to the country’s natural
gas.
Throughout the next few years, the enterprise grew. It
started to sell the Turkmeni gas to Ukraine in 1995. That initiative,
an extremely successful one, led the company to start selling natural gases to
other countries.
By the late 1990’s, the company’s efforts had led it to
become the second largest seller of gas to the Former Soviet Union areas. This
growth permitted the company to expand. Now, its priorities have expanded to
include more than oil and gas production. The company now involves itself in
energy, bioenergy, real estate, civil construction, and more.
The company values the stability of national and
international communities. Many of the company’s actions have led to
international stability. Since the dissolving of the Soviet
Union in 1991, relations between the new countries of that region
have been unstable. The company strives to continue building relations between
those countries and in Russia.
The US
Branch
Its American sister company, ITERA USA, works out of Jacksonville, FL.
It has operated there since its inception in 1992. Its enterprises in the United States
vary.
The work it accomplishes on American soil is diverse. It
operates in Texas,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, and of course
Florida. The
American branch of the company focuses on oil and real estate. However, it also
works with renewable energy sources and chemical and bioenergy technologies.
In Illinois
and Texas,
the company produces and processes hydrocarbon materials. Those ventures began
in 2003. Five years later, the company began refining bioethanol products in Pennsylvania. The
company plans to begin a similar initiative in Louisiana.
It also has been completed projects in the construction
field. It continues to be the overseer for the engineering and construction of
convenience stores and shopping centers throughout the US. The
company’s work in the US,
both directly and indirectly, provides employment for hundreds of Americans.
The company’s energy goals in their US work,
according to the corporation’s website, is bi-fold. First, it works to reduce
reliance on crude oil and petroleum products produced in foreign countries.
Secondly, the company strives to develop and paten technology that produces
bioethanol and other chemicals.
The company has recently joined with BioEnergy International,
LLC and become an equity investor with them. BioEnergy International, a
privately run company, develops biorefineries and technologies. These
refineries and technologies produce ethanol and specialty chemicals from
feedstock and waste biomass.
ITERA’s work with BioEnergy International uses eco-friendly
technologies. The companies, together, stand as a forerunner for many
progressive ideas in their field. Their focus hones methods to process grain
and crops. The crops are then developed into products ranging from plastic to
chemicals.
Community Awareness
The company continues to provide jobs and job creation. This
is particularly true in Russia,
Belarus,
and Georgia.
The company realizes its economic influence and uses it towards the growth of
its community.
Without proper research and precautions, gas production and
extraction can be tremendously detrimental to ecosystems. The company ensures
that these precautions are set in place. In the Russia, particularly, projects work
under protective measures to prevent harm to the environment.
ITERA Energy Company started a new
committee in 2003: the Council on Charity and Sponsor activities. The council
recognizes charity opportunities and initiates relevant activities. The
company’s Flight of Hope project won the distinguished PROBA-IPRA Golden
World Award.
Leaders at ITERA International Energy Company
ITERA owes much of its immense success and growth to the
determination and willpower of its leaders. Igor Makarov, the Chairman of Board
of Directors, studied at Turkmen
State University.
He then served in the army, where he no-doubt learned leadership tactics he
would later employ. Makarov was an avid cyclist in the USSR national
cycling team. There, he collected many awards for his sportsmanship and
dexterity.
In the late 1980s, Makarov started an enterprise in
production and trading. He sharpened his superb leadership capabilities through
this venture. This small business later became ITERA International Energy.
Makarov has piloted the company since its beginning in 1992.
Makarov, though no longer a competitive cyclist, continues to
support cycling teams in Russia.
Through his company, he sponsors the Russian Cycling Federation. Over four
different teams have benefited from the company’s many sponsorships.
Makarov, through his devoted work at the company, has
garnered a variety of awards. His desire to strengthen international economic
relations led him to be awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples. This is in
addition to the Honorary Reward “Akinfy Nikitich Demidov” of the International
Demidov’s Foundation.
Vladimir Makeev serves as the General
Director and Chairman of the Management Board at the company. Makeev started in
his career at the Central Scientific Research Institute for Machine Building
Technology in the USSR
as an engineer. Through his various experiences there and in trade enterprises,
Makeev brings tremendous practical knowledge to the table.
Makeev took up the role of Chief Executive Officer at the
company in 1997. After nine years as Chief Executive, the company elected to
promote him to General Director and Chairman on the Management Board. He still
holds the position.
Both Makarov and Makeev lead with experience and
determination. The changes within the company since its humble beginnings prove
that ITERA International Energy Company is a
driving force in the corporate world. With its international ties, ITERA continues to expand and grow, helping Russia and its
national friends. ITERA Energy Company’s work in
