Since October 2015, Rinat Akhmetov's Metinvest Group has begun deliveries of double-certified thick plates according to EN 10025-2 and GOST 14637 for sale on the Ukrainian market. This was reported by the press service of the company on Thursday.
“In the context of weakening domestic demand, the growth of export orders is a priority for the recovery of steel consumption in the country,” the company stressed.
Double certification was introduced for flat-rolled steel plates produced by the Ilyich Mariupol Metallurgical Plant. Now Ukrainian manufacturers of metal structures and machine builders can purchase sheet steel grades S235JR /St 3 according to EN 10025-2 and GOST 14637 from the stocks of Metinvest-SMTs for the production of products both for the domestic market and for export.
“The steel meets both European and Ukrainian quality standards in terms of chemical composition and physical and mechanical properties,” Metinvest said.
Also, since July of this year, the company has been implementing an initiative to transfer the Ukrainian galvanizing market to euronorms: Metinvest-SMC supplies zinc-coated coils and sheets according to the DSTU EN 10346 standard.
