Metinvest Group’s Kametstal plant, which was set up at the facilities of Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMK, Kamianske, Dnipro Oblast), continues to expand its product range.
According to the company, new products are being manufactured on an individual order basis.
In November, the company rolled and shipped rebar with a nominal cross section of 9.5 and 11.5 mm on the 400/200 mill for the first time. Along with 10 and 12 mm rebar profiles, it is used in the construction industry, in particular in the construction of housing and infrastructure facilities. Non-standard parameters of the profile sizes allow customers to optimize metal consumption for the construction of concrete structures of buildings and structures, while ensuring the required strength.
The developers of this solution made changes to the production technology, calibration table, rolling scheme, and calibrated the rolls, etc.
In November, 1,000 tons of 9.5 rebar and 1,500 tons of 11.5 rebar were produced and shipped to Ukrainian customers.
Oleksandr Oliynyk, Chief Rolling Officer of Kametstal, noted that the expansion of the steel product range, including customized products, allows the company to maintain its status as a customer-oriented producer in the Ukrainian and European steel markets.
“If there is a need in the market for such non-standard rebar, we promptly respond to customer requests. Our specialists have enough experience, knowledge and skills to master a new type of rolled steel in demand in a short time,” explained the manager.
“KAMETSTAL was established on the basis of PJSC Dneprovsky Coke and Chemical Plant (DKKhZ) and the Centralized Rolling Mill of PJSC Dneprovsky Metallurgical Plant (DMK).
According to the 2020 report of Metinvest Group’s parent company, Metinvest B.V. (Netherlands) owned 100% of the shares in DCCP.
