The Kametstal plant, part of the Metinvest mining and metallurgical group, established at the Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant (Kamensk, Dnipropetrovsk region), has begun production of a line of B500C class rebar for Romanian consumers under the 2026 program.
According to a press release, the plant successfully passed certification for the supply of rebar to Romania at the end of last year by the Romanian certification body ICECON.
It is specified that since the beginning of the year, the plant has already shipped more than 2.3 thousand tons of rebar with a nominal diameter of 8-25 mm via the “Kametstal – Romania” route.
It is also noted that the production of B500C class rebar according to Romanian standards has a number of fundamental features. In addition to specific geometric parameters, weight per running meter, and a unique caliber pattern, this rolled steel is distinguished by an extended range of mechanical properties. In particular, the products meet the increased requirements for strength and rigidity, which is critical for reliability in the modern EU construction industry.
The press service noted that Kametstal received a positive technical conclusion of the certificate for B500C reinforcing steel in bars with a nominal diameter of 8-32 mm from the Permanent Technical Council for Construction of the Ministry of Development, Public Works and Administration of Romania. From now on, Metinvest will sell Ukrainian steel products in this promising market alongside Bulgarian rebar manufactured at Promet Steel, according to the press release.
“Today, rebar of various profile sizes for Romanian partners is already a stable part of the monthly production program of the 400/200 mill. To make this possible, optimal technical solutions and rolling schemes were developed, and complex roll calibration was performed. In close cooperation with steelmakers, who focus on strict compliance with the chemical composition parameters of the billets required for the production of “Romanian” rebar, this allows us to confidently maintain our quality standards,” explained Alexander Oliynyk, chief rolling mill operator and head of the rolling shop, whose words are quoted in the report.
He added that the plant is systematically expanding its sales geography, confirming the competitiveness of rolled products manufactured at Kametstal even in the most demanding markets.
Kametstal was established on the basis of PJSC Dniprovsky Coke Chemical Plant (DKHP) and PJSC Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant (DMP).
