Since the beginning of this year, the Zaporizhzhia Metallurgical Plant “Zaporizhstal” has shipped 28,000 tons of rolled steel to Metinvest’s pipe plant in Romania—Metinvest Tubular Iași—which joined the group at the end of 2025.
According to information released by the company on Thursday, April marks four months since Metinvest Tubular IAȘI became part of the group. During this time, the plant has been successfully integrating into the company’s production and management processes, increasing volumes and strengthening cooperation with other assets.
It is noted that Zaporizhstal plays a key role in this process: today, the plant fully meets the Romanian facility’s demand for hot-rolled coils.
“Since the beginning of 2026, Zaporizhstal’s steelmakers have already shipped over 28,000 tons of structural steel products to Iași. These products serve as the basis for the manufacture of round, profile, and rectangular welded pipes that meet European standards and are used in construction, energy, and geothermal engineering,” the press release states.
It is further noted that the synergy among Metinvest Group companies allows not only to strengthen positions in the European market but also to ensure stable utilization of Ukrainian production capacities.
“Zaporizhstal” is one of Ukraine’s largest industrial enterprises, whose products are in high demand among consumers both in the domestic market and in many countries around the world.
Zaporizhstal is a joint venture of the Metinvest Group, whose main shareholders are PJSC System Capital Management (71.24%) and Smart Steel Limited (23.76%). Metinvest Holding LLC is the management company of the Metinvest Group.
