BMZ increased production of rebar in coils by more than a quarter

OJSC “BMZ” produced and shipped to consumers more than 62 thousand tons of rebar in coils for 8 months of 2020. The achieved indicator is more than 25% higher than the level of 2019.

The main consumers of rebar in coils are Israeli construction companies, which account for more than 95% of factory exports of these products. BMZt, thanks to the support of its permanent partner Duferco, has a long-term contract for the supply to Israel of weldable fittings in coils, micro-alloyed with vanadium, made of S-500WC steel from No. 8 to No. 16 inclusive. The volume of its implementation under these agreements in January-July 2020 exceeded USD 24 million.

Reinforcing bars are produced in the rolling shop No. 2. It is noteworthy that initially the maximum diameter provided by the technology of the Italian company Danieli was No. 14, but in the course of joint work of the specialists of the plant's technological services, profile No. 16 was also mastered. The revision made it possible for the plant to increase production and export volumes of this type of metal products. The key advantage of S500W reinforcement is its seismic resistance and weldability. According to experts, the use of such fittings, due to its characteristics, can significantly reduce the consumption of steel during construction.
