Currently, the company is focused on expanding its presence in the Ukrainian market
The Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ) is ready to increase production for export if demand and logistics capacity increases. However, a significant increase in supplies will only be possible after the end of the war, says Iuri Kravchenko Deputy CEO of Quality and Technology at DMZ.
Last year, DMZ resumed production of profiles in accordance with European standards and rolled over 5,000 tons of the relevant products for export.
«If there are orders, our specialists are ready to produce the traditional range of European profiles at any time or master new types of rolled products. The main thing is to be able to sell and export these products», added Kravchenko.
Currently, the company sees the Ukrainian market as its main sales area and operating opportunity. In 2024, it intends to increase its presence in the national market.
«This is quite realistic if we manage to maintain product quality with the lowest possible production costs», summarizes the Deputy CEO of Quality and Technology.
As previously reported by Compraço, in 2023, DMZ increased its laminated production by 86.2% compared to 2022, to 105.6 thousand tons. Last year, the company's metallurgical coke production increased by 38.5% compared to 2022, to 292.7 thousand tons.
Last year, DMZ rolling mills focused on the production of mine racks, mine rails, small volumes of channels and corners for the Ukrainian market. Furthermore, the company has resumed production of profiles in accordance with European standards.
