The company also increased the weight of plate ЛПЦ-3000 to 9.4 tons. Finished products were exported to Romania, Saudi Arabia, Poland, UAE and Spain.
Ilyich Iron and Steel Works also launched continuous slab casting at its BOF shop with increased requirements to surface quality and chemical composition.

Yuriy Ryzhenkov, CEO at Metinvest, said that in 2020, the company is going to focus on expansion of its product portfolio by launching products of higher grade and profitability. According to Mr Ryzhenkov, this will be achieved mainly through increasing production at mill 1700 at Ilyich Iron and Steel Works.
