MMK cooperates with Russian metal centers

Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) delivered 565,000 tons of rolled metal to service metal centers in Russia over the seven months of this year. This was noted at the 6th all-Russian conference "Service metal centers: equipment, technologies, market", held in Samara. The MMK spokesman said that supplies to service metal centers accounted for 17 percent of the total volume of flat products shipped by the plant to the domestic market of the country. Thus, 57,000 tons of steel products were sold through their own metal centers in St. Petersburg and in Shchelkovo, Moscow region.
