To the personnel of the State Enterprise "O.M.Makarov Production Association
Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant"
Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on the 70th anniversary of the glorious Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant – a flagship of Ukrainian and global rocket production.
A powerful Dnipropetrovsk rocket-space enterprise has gone through the whole way of developing global cosmonautics – from developing rocket systems of strategic role to creating satellite launch vehicles with the aim of exploring the outer sow for peaceful purposes. Ukrainian scientists, engineers, and workers have created four generations of rocket systems of strategic role, nearly four hundred space vehicles of seventy modifications, as well as unique space launch vehicles.
"Pivdenmash" is not only a symbol of scientific and technical progress, intelligence and creative search; it is also an example of self-sacrificing labour dignity, and a high professional level of workers.
It is pleasant to note that even today the enterprise successfully develops rocket-space potential of Ukraine, creates new technologies and expands the range of products, deepens cooperation with participants of international space programmes, and actively participates in developing the region.
On this day I wish you and your families sound health, welfare, confidence in the future, peaceful working days and joyous holidays!
