Dmitry Pumpyansky — businessman with roots in the USSR
Dmitry Pumpyansky is a Russian industrialist who built Sinara Group — a major Ural-based conglomerate encompassing TMK (one of the world's largest pipe manufacturers supplying the global energy industry) and Sinara Transport Machines (rail engineering). Sanctioned by the EU and UK in 2022.
Tracing the roots — Sverdlovsk (Russia)
Born in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) in the industrial heartland of the Urals, Pumpyansky built Sinara through the privatisation of Soviet-era industrial assets. His industrial empire — supplying pipes to the world's oil and gas fields — illustrates how Russian industrial capital from the Ural tradition embedded itself in global energy infrastructure.
Sverdlovsk (Russia). At the time, this region was one of the fifteen republics of the Soviet Union.
