Pig iron smelting at the ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih plant increased by 16.9% in 2025, reaching 2 million 534.6 thousand tonnes. This is the largest increase among all the main types of products manufactured by the company.
Despite this, CEO Mauro Longobardo noted that the plan was to operate two blast furnaces continuously, but this was not possible due to the war. Production remains adaptive and depends on energy supplies and the market situation.
The key objective of the company remains to preserve production capacity and jobs for the future reconstruction of the country.
ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih is the largest producer of rolled steel in Ukraine. It specialises in the production of long products, in particular, rebar and wire rod. The company has a full production cycle, with production capacity designed for an annual output of over 6 million tonnes of steel, more than 5 million tonnes of rolled products and over 5.5 million tonnes of pig iron.
ArcelorMittal owns Ukraine’s largest mining and metallurgical complex, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, and a number of small companies, including ArcelorMittal Beryslav.
