The Zaporizhzhia Metallurgical Plant “Zaporizhstal” increased its rolled steel shipments by 5.3% in January–April of this year compared to the same period last year—to 819,600 tons from 865,700 tons.
According to the company’s press release, steel production for the first four months amounted to 914,700 tons (1,018,900 tons in January–April 2025), and pig iron production to 1,012,900 tons (1,132,400 tons).
In April, Zaporizhstal produced 193,500 tons of pig iron and 156,600 tons of steel, and shipped 159,100 tons of rolled steel, whereas in the previous month it produced 316,400 tons of pig iron, 298,200 tons of steel, and shipped 254,600 tons of rolled steel.
It is explained that the decline in production figures is due to an unscheduled shutdown of the company’s production facilities caused by the Russian army’s attack on the region’s infrastructure. During the forced downtime, a series of repairs and maintenance were carried out on production units and treatment facilities to improve their operational reliability in the future.
