Zaporizhstal Iron and Steel Works intends to implement a number of measures to improve the quality of rolled metal products in the near future.
According to the company, Zaporizhstal hosted Metinvest’s Customer Focus Conference, where representatives of the company’s relevant departments and enterprises discussed projects to improve the quality of steel products.
“Zaporizhstal was not chosen as a venue for the conference by chance, as today the plant is one of the key metal producers in Ukraine. In fact, by the end of 2023, every second ton of Ukrainian steel was produced at Zaporizhstal. This demonstrates the scale and role of the enterprise for the national mining and metals industry, but at the same time requires even greater responsibility from Zaporizhzhia steelmakers in terms of quality and customer focus,” the company said in a statement.
It is also specified that the conference resulted in a number of applied solutions to achieve and maintain consistently high quality of Zaporizhstal’s rolled steel products, which will be implemented in the near future.
As reported, Zaporizhstal has spent over UAH 1.2 billion since the start of the full-scale invasion to upgrade production equipment and wastewater treatment facilities at the complex. At the same time, in 2023, the plant invested UAH 750 million in projects to maintain the stability and reliability of the company’s main technological facilities, which is half as much as in 2022, with an investment volume of UAH 500 million.
During the full-scale invasion, the program focused on maintaining and updating equipment to ensure its reliable operation in unforeseen conditions.
In 2024, Zaporizhstal plans to implement a capital investment program totaling about one billion hryvnias. The program is aimed at maintaining and modernizing equipment, implementing functional programs for occupational health and safety, information technology, and social sphere.
“Zaporizhstal is one of the largest industrial enterprises in Ukraine, whose products are in great demand among consumers both in the domestic market and in many countries around the world.
“Zaporizhstal is in the process of integration into Metinvest Group, whose major shareholders are System Capital Management PrJSC (71.24%) and Smart Holding Group (23.76%).
Metinvest Holding LLC is the management company of Metinvest Group.
