Metinvest is turning 19. It’s hard to believe. It’s more than just a number. It’s a journey of transformation and trials. A path we have forged ourselves. We have been through a lot: economic crises and the development of new products; record investments in modernisation and painful losses from the war.

While reality has tested our strength, we have endured because we are not used to giving up. We have not sought easy roads: we have simply built our own. Step by step, year by year, we have become stronger.

Today, Metinvest is not just a business. It is an international brand with a Ukrainian character. We unite two continents, five countries, and thousands of employees and clients worldwide. In various parts of the world, Metinvest steel is used to build vital infrastructure facilities.

Metinvest is one of Ukraine’s largest taxpayers and a donor to the country’s defence forces. We create life-saving armour while working for a peaceful tomorrow. We support communities and rebuild damaged housing. We help veterans to adapt to civilian life.

We do not separate “war” and “work”. For us, it is one cause. And this cause is the future of Ukraine. Metinvest tomorrow is a steel bridge between Ukraine and the EU. It is a new technological industry.

And each of you is part of this journey. I thank each of you for the hands that create. For the minds that seek solutions. For the hearts that never give up.

Metinvest exists and will exist. Because we are not about years. We are about people and steel will. We don’t dream: we plan. We don’t hope: we act. We don’t wait: we create the future.

Metinvest is a team. It is a pillar.

We move forward. Together. Towards victory. Glory to Ukraine!
