§ Contract signed with Siemens VAI (Germany) to supply two new ladle furnaces, each with 160 tonnes capacity, for BOF production at the Company's main site in Lipetsk. The contract is valued at around EUR23 million. The new ladle furnaces will substantially expand NLMK’s product mix enabling the Company to better supply the automotive industry, white goods producers and the electrical engineering industry.
§ Upgrading the reversing cold rolling mill for production of electrical grain-oriented steel at the main production site in Lipetsk. This will raise its capacity and enable an increase in the production of high value-added grades of grain-oriented steel with advanced magnetic properties.
