The company expects that the line will allow it to produce up to 50,000 tons per year of products that meet high quality standards and are suitable for use in harsh conditions.
The production facility is located in the village of Sheksna, Vologda region.
As part of the investment project, a line for volumetric heat treatment of products was built, as well as an existing pipe and electric welding unit was upgraded. All this combined will make it possible to achieve the necessary properties for the operation of a pile pipe at low temperatures (up to -40 degrees Celsius), said Alexander Shevelev, CEO of Severstal.
"This suggests that despite the conditions of the crisis and the sanctions restrictions, we are systematically implementing a differentiation strategy that provides for the development and offering of unique, high-tech products to customers."

Alexander Shevelev recalled that Severstal had invested more than 2.5 billion rubles in the development of investment projects and the creation of high-tech jobs at the site of the CherMK pipe workshop in the village of Sheksna.
In 2024, the company also launched a new roll forming unit for the production of cold-rolled Grani sheet piling and thick-walled cold-rolled channel.
