Yevhen Opryshko, foreman of the cold rolling shop, has been working at Zaporizhstal for 25 years. Yevhen followed in his grandfather’s footsteps when he joined the plant, and incidentally, his grandfather dedicated over four decades to the rolling industry.Over the course of his career, Yevhen has mastered nine related professions and has worked on virtually every unit within the Cold Rolling Shop. Following the launch of Continuous Pickling Line No.4, Yevhen became an operator of the pickling line, and for the past two years he has served as a foreman.His experience had shown him how important it is to have a reliable team around you – one where you can count on each other. So, when the 'Bring a Friend' programme was launched, Yevhen invited those he personally trusted to join Zaporizhstal. In this way, he brought two young and promising men into the team – Stanislav Koptiev and Danylo Shepel. Both now work as foremen. "Stanislav is my daughter's boyfriend, and Danylo is the son of a

According to the capital investment programme for 2025, Kamet-Steel has begun large-scale construction of a new blast furnace gas collector. This project is extremely important for ensuring a reliable production process and increasing the efficiency of blast furnace gas usage. The new collector will replace the worn gas pipeline, which cannot be technically restored. The collector is a vital element of Kamet-Steel's process infrastructure for collecting and transporting blast furnace gas—a by-product of blast furnace smelting – for its subsequent use in metallurgical production. The construction is split into five stages. The first stage will last until the end of 2027, covering construction of a gas pipeline with a length of 330 metres. The total length of the gas pipeline will be 1,200 metres. The first phase will involve building a start-up facility for collecting gas from the BF-1M. The pipeline modernisation also includes upgrading pillars and supports, because old metal structur

Kamet-Steel continues its overhaul at the rolling shop. Having finished planned works at the billet shop, the repair team has changed location to upgrade the 400/200 mill ‒ the leading rolling mill of the enterprise, which has been operating at full capacity this year.The main objectives of the overhaul are to increase the reliability and energy efficiency of the area's main equipment. The attention of metallurgical equipment repair shop specialists and their colleagues from Zaporizhstal is focused primarily on upgrading the mill "heart". This is the 30-tonne transfer gearbox of the BGV No. 10 block, which ensures consistent and stable operation of equipment for producing wire rods and related parts. The next step is upgrading the right-hand BGV No. 4 block. This includes a major repair of gearboxes, replacement of bearing and other units of the rolling line, on which the 400/200 mill's most sought-after and high-margin product is produced ‒ rebar with a section from 8 to 20 mm.
