As one of the most trusted and highly competent MOL Group managers, Péter Ratatics was trusted with a role of setting straight the operations at INA following the gas fraud that has shaken not only INA but the entire MOL Group. During his nine month long mandate, stability of daily operations was assured and the control environment was changed in order to prevent any similar events in the future. Beside the crisis management of the gas scandal consequences, business continuity was managed comprehensively. In this period, INA managed an almost half year long shutdown in Rijeka without a delay and without any market supply disturbance. The renegotiation of the DCU (Delayed Coking Unit) contract with the contractor was also successfully executed in order to ensure timely closure of the Rijeka Refinery modernisation project.
During his mandate, INA signed and closed the divestment of Petrokemija Kutina. Also, in the middle of an unprecedented energy cost and inflation increase, INA signed new collective agreements with trade unions for 2023. As a company leader, Ratatics made sure that there is a clear vision of how to make the employees’ work conditions better and carried out the highest compensation package increase for INA employees in the last 10 years.
„I’m leaving INA in safe hands. I’m proud of the accomplishments INA has achieved during my mandate. Now, 9 months later I can confidently say that INA is on a good track again. Not only the company’s risk management is today at an exceptionally high level, but most importantly, its intense investment cycle continues in full speed. INA has a lot of good business opportunities and I wish to be INA’s ambassador in Budapest”, concludes Péter Ratatics.
“After 2.5 years in the INA Supervisory Board, I look forward to returning to Zagreb and taking over this responsible role. I am well acquainted with the company’s operations and my main goal will be to keep INA strong and stable, while continuing building a rock-solid future for the next 20 years and more”, said Zsuzsanna Ortutay.
