DMZ produced 0.5 thousand tons of rolled steel in January

In January 2025, Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ) produced 0.5 thousand tons of rolled steel, down 64.2% compared to January 2024. At the same time, the company did not produce any steel products in December. This is stated in the corporate newspaper DCH Steel.

In total, the rolling campaign in Rolling Shop No. 2 (RS-2) involves the production of 7.1 thousand tons of steel products, and its completion is scheduled for the end of this week.

In January, metallurgical coke production at DMZ decreased by 16.6% y/y and by 17.8% m/m – to 18.9 thousand tons.

“Last month, the plant shipped 0.95 thousand tons of rolled metal to consumers, including the volumes of rolling shop No. 1, and all the coke produced,” the statement said.

As GMK Center repored earlier, in 2024, DMZ reduced its rolled metal production by 59.4% compared to 2023, to 42.9 thousand tons. Coke production decreased by 1.2% y/y – to 289.1 thousand tons.

The company is stepping up efforts to expand its presence in the domestic market. In 2024, the company continued to improve its production, focusing on the use of continuously cast billets for the production of channels at Rolling Shop No. 2. This helped reduce costs and increase the competitiveness of products.

Dnipro Metallurgical Plant is one of the largest steel companies 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 machine building, crane and mine rails.
