Dniprospetsstal electrometallurgical plant (Zaporizhia) has begun a gradual launch of production, including for the purpose of supplying stainless steel to PrJSC Centravis Production Ukraine, which is part of holding Centravis Ltd.
Chief Sales Officer (CSO) Artem Atanasov said in a letter to Centravis customers that the company is experiencing a positive trend in the supply of pipe billets for production.
“Dniprospetsstal, our main billet supplier, is gradually launching production, and in the near future we expect stable supply volumes,” Atanasov stated.
According to him, Centravis is operating normally, both in hot and cold shops. At the same time, in the hot production, all actual performance indicators are higher than planned, in the cold shop, several lines operate at the level of stable operation before the war.
The sales director recalled that the plant began to offer products and take orders.
“Your continued support (from customers) is extremely important to us at this stage. Buying pipes from Centravis means that you support the restart of the Ukrainian economy, which is now more important than ever. Our logistics team is actively working and constantly looking for better and safer ways for delivery of finished products,” Atanasov emphasized, adding that the company is actively preparing for participation in the Tube&Wire exhibition, which will be held in Dusseldorf on June 20-24.
Centravis is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of seamless stainless steel pipes, founded in 2000. Its production facilities are located in Nikopol (Dnipropetrovsk region). It is included in the top 10 world players. Before the Russian aggression, more than 1,400 people worked at the enterprise.
