Zaporizhzhia Ferroalloy Plant (ZZF) increased its output by 35.2% in 2024 compared to 2023, up to 26.80 thousand tons from 19.82 thousand tons.
According to the Ukrainian Association of Ferroalloy Producers (UkrFA), in 2024, ZZF increased its production of silicomanganese sixfold to 23.08 thousand tons from 3.87 thousand tons, but reduced ferrosilicon to 0.12 thousand tons from 10.49 thousand tons, and ferromanganese to 3.6 thousand tons from 5.43 thousand tons.
At the same time, the company did not produce metal manganese, while in 2023 it produced 0.03 thousand tons.
ZZF is one of the three main Ukrainian producers of this product.
As reported, Pokrovsky Mining and Processing Plant (PGOK, formerly Ordzhonikidze Mining and Processing Plant) and Marganetsky Mining and Processing Plant (MGOK, both in Dnipropetrovska oblast), both part of Privat Group, stopped mining and processing crude manganese ore in late October and early November 2023, while NGOK and Zaporizhzhya Ferroalloy Plant (ZZF) suspended smelting. Later, the ferroalloy companies resumed operations at a minimum level of production. In particular, ZZF has been operating two furnaces at 7% capacity since May 1, 2024, and NFP has also been operating since the end of June last year.
Before the nationalization, the business of ZZF, NFP, Stakhanovsky ZF (which is on tubing), Pokrovske (formerly Ordzhonikidze) and Marganetsky Ore Mining and Processing Plants was organized by PrivatBank.
