In 2025, Kametstal Plant, part of Metinvest Mining and Metallurgical Group (Kamensk, Dnipropetrovsk region), carried out a series of important equipment repairs and expanded its product range by seven items.
According to the company, in 2025, despite the obstacles posed by the war, the company continued to operate, develop and support the economic strength of the region and Ukraine.
Thus, despite logistical difficulties and energy instability, Kametstal implemented the most ambitious capital repair programme of the war years, the most important of which were the overhaul of blast furnace No. 9, a complex of overhauls of the main equipment of both converters, the installation of furnace ladle No. 1, MBLZ-1, and major repairs of the section rolling and pipe mill.
It is noted that Kametstal expanded its product range by seven items and once again became the leader among Metinvest’s enterprises. The plant was the first among the group’s enterprises to commission a gas piston power plant to generate its own electricity. This made it possible to increase the energy security of the main production equipment during wartime.
In the converter shop, continuous casting machine (CCM) No. 1 was reconstructed: important electrical equipment, automated control systems, and key equipment of the machine’s drawing and straightening devices were upgraded in two stages. The electrical equipment of CCM No. 2 was also modernised.
In addition, the construction of new above-ground high- and medium-pressure water pipes to support the technological processes of the converter and lime-burning shops in particular was completed and put into operation.
In 2025, the company invested almost UAH 43 million in improving working conditions at the enterprise.
Kametstal is part of the Metinvest Group.
The ElectronMash plant (Lviv), which is part of the Electron corporation, and the Rivne NPP branch of the Energoatom National Nuclear Energy Company have signed a contract for the supply of five new large city buses for an estimated UAH 75.375 million (excluding VAT).
According to information in Prozorro, the agreement was signed on December 24 after ElectronMash was declared the winner of the relevant tender, in which it was the only participant.
According to the contract, with a total value of UAH 90.45 million (including VAT), the buses will be delivered within 245 calendar days from the date of receipt of the advance payment. A 30% advance payment (UAH 27.135 million) is provided for within 30 calendar days from the date of signing.
As reported, ElectronMash offered 12-meter low-floor Electron A18501 buses at a price of UAH 15.075 million (excluding VAT) each.
The buses were manufactured this year. They are equipped with a Cummins diesel engine that meets the Euro 6 environmental standard, a ZF automatic transmission, and an EBS system. Each bus is designed to carry more than 100 passengers (at least 30 seated), equipped with a folding ramp and seat belts in the passenger compartment to secure wheelchairs.
The Electron A18501 buses were first introduced by the manufacturer in 2016 and are currently in operation in Lviv and Uzhhorod.
The Rivne Nuclear Power Plant announced a tender for the purchase of five large buses on October 17 this year, with a delivery date of November 30, 2026. The auction was scheduled for October 28, but the customer postponed the deadline for submitting bids and its date several times.
As reported, the large Ukrainian bus manufacturer Etalon Corporation considered the tender conditions to be discriminatory, as they were written for the Turkish Temsa LF 12 bus, and also noted that for the announced price, it could offer seven Etalon buses instead of five. However, the customer did not change the tender conditions proposed by Etalon.
