The company innovates by developing new products for construction and engineering
Metinvest Group’s steel enterprises in Ukraine continue to improve production even in times of war. In 2024, the company launched 20 new products, including at Kametstal and Zaporizhstal.
This year, most of the new products were developed in the long products segment (12), cold-rolled coils and sheets (four), hot-rolled coils and sheets (two), and galvanized coils and semi-finished products (one each).
Kametstal set up the production of 12 new types of long products. These include reinforcing bars of a new strength class, six types of wire rod, hot-rolled profiles for supporting mine workings and rounds made of St3ps steel. These products are used in construction, machine building and metal products manufacturing.
Zaporizhstal focused on cold-rolled and hot-rolled products. The plant started production of coils and sheets of new grades, which are used in light steel structures, pipes, profiles and elements of railway cars.
In addition, Unisteel produced new galvanized steel for the construction industry, and Kametstal started producing continuously cast square billets.
Despite the ongoing war, Metinvest remains an important player in the Ukrainian economy. Over the past decade, the company has mastered 422 new products, which allows it to maintain production and create competitive materials for the domestic and international markets.
The new products meet modern quality and safety standards, emphasizing the company’s commitment to innovation and adaptation to market conditions.
As GMK Center reported earlier, in 2023, Metinvest mastered the production of 25 new products. In particular, Zaporizhstal launched 14 new products. Most of the new products were developed in the semi-finished products segment, hot-rolled coils and long products (7 each), as well as cold-rolled and galvanized coils (2 each).
