The rolling shop of the plant produced almost 8 thousand tons of rebar, more than 20 thousand tons of wire rod and 1.5 thousand tons of round steel

In July 2022, the Kametstal Iron & Steel Works manufactured more than 30 thousand tons of products in the rolling shop for the domestic market of Ukraine. This was reported by press office of plant on the Facebook page.

In addition, in July Kametstal steelworkers rolled a batch of car axles for domestic car builders.

“In July, distributors worked for the domestic market of Ukraine. In particular, at the 400/200 mill, an order was fulfilled for batches of shaped, sectional profiles. This gives confidence in our victory and the restoration of the country. Our steel is needed in Ukraine – these are future prospects for both our enterprise and the Ukrainian economy,” said Dmitry Lippa, CEO of the plant.

As GMK Center reported earlier, in July Kametstal launched the only axle rolling mill, which was temporarily stopped due to the destruction of Azovstal, which supplied blanks for the axles. The plant has found a new supplier of blanks and started fulfilling an order from domestic car builders.
