Italian factories Metinvest Group, Ferriera Valsider and Metinvest Trametal have resumed normal operations after the expiration of a decree from the Italian government to suspend work at the country's metallurgical plants due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Ferriera Valsider resumed production on April 30th and Metinvest Trametal on April 12th. Warehouse stocks of semi-finished products will allow you to quickly resume normal pace of work, depending on demand. The group expects production in May to be 32,000 tonnes at Ferriera Valsider and 40,000 tonnes at Metinvest Trametal.
On March 23, Metinvest suspended operations at both of its rolling mills in Italy due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the demands of the Italian government to suspend operations at metallurgical plants.
