Zaporizhkcoke increased production to 825,000 tons in January-November

Zaporizhkcoke PJSC, one of Ukraine’s largest producers of coke for metallurgy, increased its output by 3.1% year-on-year to 824,960 tons in January-November 2025, according to GMK Center calculations based on the company’s data.

In November, production fell by 3.4% compared to the previous month and increased by 6.9% year-on-year to 76.3 thousand tons.

It should be noted that coke imports to Ukraine in January-October 2025 decreased by 4.1% compared to the same period in 2024, to 557.45 thousand tons. At the same time, imports of coking coal for the period increased 3.1 times year-on-year to 2.29 million tons. While at the beginning of the year, against the backdrop of the shutdown of the Pokrovsk Coal Group, there was a surge in coke imports, the pace of deliveries has now slowed, shifting to coking coal, which is already being processed into finished products in the country.

As reported by GMK Center, in 2024, Zaporizhkcoke increased coke production by 2.1% compared to 2023, to 874,600 tons.

Since 2022, the company has allocated more than UAH 360 million for the capital renovation of the coke oven fleet. Most of the funds were invested in the overhaul of coke batteries No. 2 and No. 5-6. Recent investment projects include the overhaul of coke pusher No. 3 on coke battery No. 5-6 and the overhaul of the U-30 charge feeding line in the coal preparation shop.

Zaporizhkcoke is Ukraine’s leading producer of coke and chemical products. It is part of the Metinvest Group. The main consumer of its products is the Zaporizhstal steelworks.
