In June 2020, Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ) produced 18 thousand tons of pig iron, 13 thousand tons of steel and 10 thousand tons of rolled products following a long downtime due to repair and upgrade of the plant’s facilities, according to Interfax-Ukraine.
“This very moment, the company is reaching technical parameters set to fulfill production plans,” a representative of DMZ said in a commentary.
The plant is currently preparing to launch blast furnace and rolling facilities.
In October 2019, DMZ announced the suspension of production to streamline its facilities. The reason is a fall in the market demand for steel. Following a downtime of more than six months, the plant announced the completion of repair works and preparations for launch.
Dnipro Metallurgical Plant is an integrated steelmaking company, a part of the DCH Group. It produces semi-finished and long products: channels, angles and rails.
Its main products are square billets (exported to Turkey and Egypt), channels (wide export geography: countries of Europe, Asia, Africa) and pig iron (exported mainly to Turkey).
In 2019, DMZ cut production of rolled products by 43% to 449 thousand tons against the previous year.
