International experience, modern technologies and global trends in manufacturing processes – all of this becomes accessible to Metinvest Polytechnic students whilst they are still studying.

Representatives of the Occupational Health, Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection Directorate of Metinvest’s Consolidated Iron Ore took part in a working meeting chaired by the leadership of the Regional State (Military) Administration on compliance with environmental protection legislation by major industrial enterprises of Dnipropetrovsk region during wartime.Representatives of major enterprises in the energy, coal, mining and steelmaking sectors located within Dnipropetrovsk region were invited to take part in the working meeting, including Prydniprovska TPP, Pavlogradvuhillia, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Kryvyi Rih Cement, Kamet Steel, DMZ, Southern Iron Ore and Central Iron Ore.The discussion addressed the status of implementing the measures of Dnipropetrovsk Regional Comprehensive Programme for Environmental Safety and Climate Change Prevention for 2016–2025; citizens’ complaints related to enterprises’ production activities, monitoring compliance with environmental prote

For the first time in Ukraine, the rolling mill workers of Kamet-Steel have started production of channel No.16 using the tube billet mill. The mastering of new shaped sections continues as part of the recovery programme for Metinvest's product mix, partially lost because of the war. Channel 16U is a high-margin product in demand on the market and widely used in construction, as well as in the machine-building and shipbuilding industries. This type of product was produced at Metinvest's enterprises before the war. A bold decision to start production of such challenging shaped sections using the tube billet mill has been made for the first time in Ukraine. After all, Kamet-Steel's tube billet mill, according to its design parameters, is intended for the manufacture of round and square billets. However, in 2023, the workers managed to master the production of shaped sections SVP-27 and SVP-33. This unique experience came in handy while developing process solutions to accomplish the task

Young, determined, optimistic... When the big war came to the country, a 22-year-old worker of Ingulets GOK did not hesitate to change the profession of an electrician at the Ingulets GOK to a paramedic driver in order to save the lives of soldiers. During his four years of service, Oleksandr Zhernoklyov went through the hottest front-line directions, more than once putting himself in danger. But even after receiving serious injuries, he did not lose his positive attitude.“I worked until the last minute at the plant, and then… News about acquaintances was pouring in – this one went to the front, that one went to the front…”, recalls Oleksandr of the first weeks of the war. And the guy could not stand it – he also stood up to defend the country. He knew what the army was, because he had recently completed his military service. Later, he worked for some time as an electrician in the quarry of the Ingulets GOK. From this position, he went to the front – in April 2022, he became part of t

Every day brings hundreds of routes, thousands of kilometres, and dozens of production tasks. The Road Transport Department of Zaporizhstal ensures the continuous operation of the enterprise. It transports employees, delivers cargo, responds promptly to production needs, and supports technological and service functions of the large plant. The department is a complex system where each subdivision is responsible for its own area – from technical maintenance and equipment to organising transportation. However, the department's main value is its people, whose experience and responsibility keep the transport running every day.

In March 1932, Zaporizhstal reorganised the Inspection and Defect Control Department into the Quality Control Department. Since then, the department has been evolving alongside the enterprise. It plays a key role in ensuring the quality of steel products. The department specialists work at all stages of the production chain – from inspecting raw materials upon their arrival at the plant to monitoring the parameters of finished goods. The department's main goal is to ensure that products comply with standards and maintain consumer trust in the plant.One of the most technically advanced subdivisions is the Incoming Inspection Department. Ten specialists work here, performing instrumental inspection of materials and components supplied to the enterprise. More than 102,000 product items fall within their area of responsibility; among them are the following: rolled products, rolling rolls, equipment, bearings, hardware, and other process materials.
