Mechel’s Hardware Production Upgrade Project Wins State Support
18 Abril 2019 - 4:30AM
Mechel PAO (MOEX: MTLR; NYSE: MTL), a leading Russian
mining and metals company, reports that the Supervisory Board of
Russia’s Industry and Trade Ministry’s Industrial Development Fund
approved a low-interest loan to Mechel Group’s Beloretsk
Metallurgical Plant for upgrading its wire and rope production
facilities.
The project’s cost will total 1.5 billion
rubles, with the Industrial Development Fund footing the bill for
50% of this sum, or 750 million rubles. The loan’s maturity is five
years. The project includes a large-scale technical upgrade of
Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant’s wire and rope production facilities
and installation of new level-type wire drawing equipment. The
upgrade will enable the plant to produce the types of wire Russia
is currently importing, with high quality characteristics including
plastic properties, surface finish and full-length mechanical
uniformity. Springs, ropes and other products made from such wires
will have a longer life expectancy.
The project also includes implementing best
available technologies which will yield additional effect of
minimizing the facilities’ impact on the environment as the new
equipment will be compliant with the most stringent ecological
standards. The mills will be equipped with the mechanical descaling
line which will enable the plant to stop using chemicals for rod
descaling.
Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant’s new products
will be widely in demand in aviation, shipbuilding, automobile,
construction, oil and gas, electronic, furniture and chemical
industries.
“Upgrading our wire and rope production
facilities will help us dramatically improve our output’s quality
and efficiency, make our production safer and more environmentally
friendly. We plan to complete this upgrade in 2023. We are grateful
to the Industrial Development Fund for their loan support of our
project. I am sure that our new output with its improved quality
will be in demand not only domestically, but internationally as
well,” Mechel PAO’s Chief Executive Officer Oleg Korzhov
commented.
