Dneprovsky Metallurgical Plant ensured the operation of key sectors of the Ukrainian economy
Thanks to the work of the Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant, key sectors of the Ukrainian economy operate, the press service of the DCH group of businessman Alexander Yaroslavsky reported.
Because of the war, DMZ remained the only domestic manufacturer of mine and wagon racks, mine and crane rails . DMZ also produces the largest assortment of channels and angles in the country.
The war destroyed a significant part of the metallurgical capacities of Ukraine, and operating enterprises were put on the brink of survival. But, despite all the difficulties, DMZ retained its production facilities and a significant part of the team, continues to work and supply products to customers.
Since April last year, rolling shops have been working on a give-and-take scheme, on a billet supplied by the customer, which then sells or uses finished products.
Among the production of rolled metal, the largest volumes fall on the shaft rack: SVP-17, SVP-22, SVP-27 and SVP-33.
"Since April 2022 DMZ delivered about 60,000 tons of shaft props to customers. There are small orders for mine and crane rails, channels and angles of various sizes,” says Irina Shevchenko, Sales Director of DMZ.
Thanks to the work of rolling mills, coal mines, iron ore and manganese ore plants that extract minerals are able to operate by underground method.
Coke chemists increase their volumes
With the beginning of spring, the demand for products of the DMZ coke production increased, which is associated with seasonal factors. We increased production volumes of ferroalloy plants that purchase coal coke, coke nuts and DMZ coke breeze. Demand for coal tar and ammonium sulphate has increased markedly. Since April, small deliveries of coke products to Moldova have begun, and other sales markets are being sought.
