Zaporizhstal of Metinvest Group, in line with its annual capital investment programme, continues to carry out comprehensive major overhauls of three groups of soaking pits (with four pits in each group) in the slab section of the hot rolling shop. The total amount of investments exceeds UAH 135 million."Today, Zaporizhstal operates at only 75% of its production capacity.

In particular, a major upgrade of the soaking pits is currently underway; they are an important link in the technological process of hot rolling at Zaporizhstal. The quality of finished steel products, mechanical properties of rolled steel, and compliance with standards and customer requirements depend on stable temperature conditions and uniform billet heating in the pits," said Taras SHEVCHENKO, Acting General Director of Zaporizhstal and Hero of Ukraine.

From the first days of the full-scale invasion, Volodymyr volunteered to defend Ukraine. "He headed to the military office on 26 February 2022. He said that he was going to the front so that the front would not come to us, to his family, to his home. No matter how much I tried to dissuade him, but he firmly decided because he could not act differently. I respect his choice and I am very proud of my hero," said Daria MOSKOVETS, Volodymyr's wife. In peacetime, Volodymyr Moskovets from Zaporizhzhia worked as a refractory spe

Kennedy once said that one should not ask what the country has done for you, but rather what you can do for it. Metallurgy is not something abstract. It can be seen and touched. Ships, bridges, building, and many more are made of steel. Metinvest has tens of thousands of metallurgists and miners. We live and work in Ukraine and for Ukraine. It is both simple and significant at the same time. Read our new article about objects created from Ukrainian steel. "HETMAN IVAN MAZEPA" CORVETTE У море «Гетьман Іван Мазепа» вийшов у жовтні 2022Usually, ships become legends after voyages and achievements. However, "Hetman Ivan Mazepa" became famous before its launch. The first Ada-class corvette and the future of the Ukrainian Navy, it was made of unique material – steel from Illich Steel and Iron Works and Azovstal. One thousand tonnes of hot-rolled steel sheets and plates were turned into a modern flagship almost 100 metres long. The corvette was built using stealth technology and is equipped w

Два кольори мої, два кольори… Синій, як весняне небо, жовтий, як колосся чи неозорий степ. А що там, за ними?Читайте новий матеріал Метінвесту – і обов’язково дізнаєтесь.Легенда про перевернутий стягЧули про китайську художницю Мао Мао, яка на зустрічі з Леонідом Кравчуком порадила президентові перевернути прапор – мовляв, не по фен-шую? То знайте, що в цієї ідеї є набагато більше авторитетних носіїв.Наприклад, Михайло Грушевський. Подейкують, що відомий історик і голова Центральної ради УНР затвердив саме жовто-синій прапор. Однак, гетьман Петро Скоропадський змінив порядок кольорів – і спровокував цим масу питань типу «А навіщо?».Попри те, що жодних доказів немає, чимало людей досі впевнені: щойно прапор перевернути – біди України закінчаться і наша держава ввійде у період розквіту. Преса навіть Олександра Усика записала у їхні ряди – абсолютний чемпіон світу з боксу не раз з’являвся на офіційних подіях саме з жовто-синім варіантом. Втім, поспішати з висновками не будемо: адже перев

The preschool institution in Komunarskyi district, damaged by enemy shelling in October 2024, will once again welcome children starting from 1 September. During the attack, almost 90 windows were blown out and part of the frames damaged by the blast wave. Thanks to the support of Insulate Ukraine NGO and financial support from Metinvest Group and Zaporizhstal, the premises were restored using an innovative solution – so-called "soft windows." According to Illia Oleksandrov, the regional representative of the Insulate Ukraine NGO, this technology was developed specifically for front-line cities. "This technology was developed specifically for cities that are subjected to shelling. It is an option that allows us to replace blown-out or destroyed glass with something safe, transparent and warm. Around the perimeter of the damaged window, we mount a wooden frame, to which transparent PET plastic is attached on both sides. It has UV stabilisation, does not fade in the sun, and thanks to it
