DMZ plans a new rolling campaign with production up to 10 thousand tons in June in June

In April-May 2025, rolling shop No. 2 (RP-2) of Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ, part of DCH Steel) successfully completed a rolling campaign with a volume of over 9.2 thousand tons of steel products. The plant plans to start the next campaign in June. Expected production volumes are 9-10 thousand tons. This is stated in the corporate newspaper DCH.

The spring campaign started on April 25 and was completed a day ahead of schedule on May 7. The company rolled a wide range of channels (from No. 10 to No. 30) and a 125 angle. According to Yuriy Mykhailiv, Deputy General Director for Metallurgical Production, the campaign went off without any breakdowns or comments.

“For the first time, all shift personnel worked on a three-team schedule. The work was intense but productive. We managed to avoid overspending on metal and energy,” said Mykhailiv.

One of the key achievements was the first commercial rolling of channel No. 22 from a cast billet (200×200 square). The technology was developed over a year, and the final experiments were completed in February 2025. As part of the campaign, trial coils of channels No. 24 and No. 30 were also rolled, and are currently being analyzed to improve the process.

In addition, the shop continues to produce lightweight channels No. 8-16. The campaign showed stable demand for both lightweight and standard sections.

Special attention was paid to logistics. In April, the company restored wagon scales No. 5, which made it possible to import billets through Kaidatska station at lower costs. In May, the scales were calibrated, so now finished products will also be shipped through Kaidatska.

At present, the company is preparing for the June campaign at Rolling Shop No. 2 by inspecting equipment and preparing calibrations for channels No. 24 and No. 30.

As a reminder, in January-April 2025, DMZ reduced production of commercial rolled metal products by 52.4% compared to the same period in 2024, to 11.2 thousand tons. Metallurgical coke production for 4 months decreased by 24.8% compared to the same period in 2024 to 70.6 thousand tons.

Dnipro Metallurgical Plant is one of the largest metallurgical enterprises in Ukraine. It is part of DCH Steel, a division of DCH Group. DMZ produces the largest range of channels and angles, and is the only manufacturer in Ukraine of channels with parallel shelves from 12 to 30, special profiles for mechanical engineering, crane and mine rails.
