Novokramatorsk Machine-Building Plant (NKMZ, Kramatorsk, Donetsk region) plans to increase production and sales by 81.5% in 2025 compared to 2024, to UAH 2.08 billion.
The relevant plans are contained in the company’s financial report for 2024, published in the NSSMC disclosure system.
“The company’s activities in 2025 will, with a high degree of probability, be limited. Based on these assumptions for 2025, production plans have been approved for 12,700 tons of machinery and equipment for the metallurgical, mining, construction, lifting, loading, and unloading industries, as well as spare parts,” the report says.
NKMZ notes that this year, the plant’s metallurgical production plans include the manufacture of 21.78 thousand tons of liquid steel, 120 tons of liquid pig iron, 1.1 thousand tons of steel castings, and 100 tons of pig iron, as well as 15.84 thousand tons of forgings.
“The development of projects for the promising further development of the enterprise, the formation of measures aimed at the successful operation of the enterprise, the creation of new equipment and research and development, the technical re-equipment and introduction of resource-saving technologies will begin after the end of the war in Ukraine,” the plant said.
At the same time, measures are planned for 2025 to conduct a supervisory audit of the quality management system by ISOaccelerator to confirm and extend the validity of the ISO 9001:2015 certificate.
The marketing strategy of PJSC NKMZ for the current year is to maintain and expand strategic market segments and increase its presence in Eastern, Central, and Western Europe, and Central Asia.
According to the report, in 2024, the main market segments for NKMZ PJSC products were Asia (54.4% of sales), Europe (24.9%), and Ukraine (17.9%).
In terms of total sales in monetary terms, 55.2% were rolling rolls, 18.1% were metallurgical and rolling equipment, 7.3% were mining and ore equipment, and other equipment accounted for 19.4%.
Investments in production development last year amounted to UAH 28.15 million.
As reported, in 2024, NKMZ’s net income increased 3.2 times compared to the previous year, reaching UAH 1 billion 146 million, with exports to European and Asian countries accounting for UAH 941.3 million (82%). Net profit amounted to UAH 36.33 million (in 2023, the company reported a loss of UAH 856.93 million).
At the same time, in 2024, Slovakia, Lithuania, Egypt, and Luxembourg joined Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan (where exports fell 12.3 times over the year), and India (where exports grew 31 times) as the largest importers of NKMZ products. Supplies within Ukraine increased 5.2 times to UAH 204.6 million.
NKMZ, whose capacity was forced to be mothballed with the start of the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, began to partially resume operations in October 2023.
NKMZ is a city-forming enterprise in Kramatorsk, the largest in Ukraine in the production of rolling, metallurgical, forging and pressing, hydraulic, mining, lifting and transport, hydraulic and railway equipment.
Before the war in 2021, the company’s net income exceeded UAH 6 billion.

How Ukrainians are leaving and returning
The State Border Service recorded over 16.4 million border crossings (total departures and returns) in the first half of 2025. 85% of border crossings were made by Ukrainians. 250,000 citizens who crossed the border this year did not return to Ukraine. This is 1.6 times less than in the same period last year.
16.47 million border crossings were recorded in the first six months of 2025. This is 4% more than in the same period last year. The vast majority of crossings — 85%, or 14.08 million — were made by Ukrainians. It should be noted that these are official border crossings — cases of “swimming across the Tisa” or leaving through temporarily occupied territories cannot be reliably tracked.
7.17 million citizens left Ukraine between January and June, while 6.92 million returned. Thus, this year, 250,000 more people left the country than returned. However, this is 1.6 times less than in the same period last year, when the difference was 404,000. In total, more than 3 million citizens have left since the start of the full-scale war and have not returned.
On average, Ukrainians cross the border 2.35 million times per month. The lowest number was in February (1.78 million), and the highest was in June (3.13 million). June, July, and August are traditionally peak months, accounting for a third of all border crossings during the year.

In 2024, the mining and metallurgical group Metinvest increased its spending on environmental projects by 2% compared to 2023, to $170.5 million.
According to NV Business, citing the group’s press service, capital investments in environmental projects reached $39.8 million, current expenditures amounted to $129.1 million, and other expenditures amounted to $1.5 million.
As noted, further integration into EU markets, where the “green agenda” dominates, is encouraging Ukrainian businesses to invest in reducing harmful emissions and saving energy resources despite the war.
Environmental investments in Ukraine are concentrated in several main areas: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, optimizing energy consumption, introducing renewable energy, modernizing equipment, and improving water treatment. These initiatives are driven by the need to comply with European legislation, in particular systems such as MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification), CBAM (cross-border carbon adjustment mechanism), ESRS (sustainable development reporting standards), and ETS (emissions trading system). For every company that is ready to supply its products to the EU and integrate into the European community, this terminology translates into investments in environmental projects.
In particular, companies that pollute the air and consume a lot of electricity and natural gas are forced to address the issue of production modernization. For example, some Metinvest companies are optimizing their energy consumption and gradually switching to alternative energy sources. For example, at the Northern and Central GOKs, natural gas has been partially replaced by biofuel (sunflower husks), which is already contributing to a reduction in CO₂ emissions.
The Group is implementing CO₂ emission management systems such as MRV, CBAM, ESRS, and ETS. These systems enable us not only to comply with European standards, but also to optimize production processes, reducing fuel and energy costs. Compliance with these systems is expected to not only reduce the environmental impact but also provide economic benefits: lower energy costs, increased production efficiency, and the ability to export to the EU without interruption.
Environmental initiatives enable companies to not only reduce their impact on the environment, but also save money. The use of alternative energy sources, such as biofuels, reduces energy costs, while monitoring systems such as MRV and ETS provide tools for analyzing efficiency and making management decisions.
Metinvest is a vertically integrated group of mining and metallurgical companies. Its enterprises are located in Ukraine, in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions, as well as in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The main shareholders of the holding are the SCM Group (71.24%) and Smart Holding (23.76%). Metinvest Holding LLC is the managing company of the Metinvest Group.
The state-owned Ukreximbank (Kyiv) provided a UAH 135 million loan to Eco-Sfera, a natural juice producer from Vinnytsia region, half of which is covered by a state guarantee.
According to the bank’s website, the loan was issued in the form of a tranche credit line with the use of a state risk-sharing mechanism, with 50% of the limit secured by a state portfolio guarantee.
The funds will be used for seasonal accumulation of raw materials, which will enable the company to increase production during peak periods and strengthen the market presence of its brands both in the regions and at the national level.
According to the NBU, as of April 2025, Ukreximbank ranked third (UAH 311.8 billion) among 60 operating banks in terms of total assets.
