blast furnance production - Latest news GMK Center

Chinese steelmakers generally did not shut down their blast furnaces during the New Year holidays

More and more factories are completing annual overhauls of blast furnaces

As a result, 2.8 thousand jobs will be lost, 2.5 thousand of them within the next 18 months

Steel processing plants continued to reduce production against the background of a decrease in market activity

The decrease in the indicator was mainly due to maintenance stops

Thanks to this step, the company will increase its annual production capacity

The country's enterprises also reduced their consumption of imported iron ore

A two-week shutdown is planned, the reason being cited as insufficient demand in Europe

The reason was cited as problems with the supply of raw materials due to the weather in the Black Sea and a decrease in the water level in the Danube

This is expected to increase the supply of slabs in neighboring markets

If necessary, blast furnace volumes will be redistributed to other company facilities

The capacity of the unit is estimated at 1.13 million tons of pig iron per year
