Investments
MMK is pursuing a strategy of investment in production revamping and modernization. MMK's long-term modernization program is aimed at satisfying the growing demand and requirements of the Russian customers and raising the level of production of value added goods.
The 5,000 mm Plate Mill
The unique 5,000mm Plate Mill is the key element of MMK’s plate production complex comprising the Mill itself, a secondary steel treatment unit and Continuous Caster #6. A contract for the supply of equipment was signed in November, 2006, with SMS-DEMAG (now SMS Siemag), an engineering company from Germany. The mill is designed to produce highly lucrative heavy-gauge plate of the strength class up to X120 and up to 4,850 mm wide for the oil and gas sector, the ship and bridge building industries and heavy machines' manufacturing. The Plate Mill produces about 1.5 mtpy, including 0.3 mtpy of heat treated plate.
The heart of the Plate Mill is a rolling stand capable of developing a rolling force of 12,000 tons. The 5,000mm Plate Mill was officially put on stream in July, 2009. Vladimir Putin, the Russian Prime Minister, who participated in the start-up of the Mill, highly praised the new facility. As a result of this project MMK greatly expanded its potential for the production of premium quality hot-rolled products and plates using state-of-the-art metal forming techniques.

The 2,000 Cold Rolling Mill
Another large-scale investment project under implementation at MMK is the construction of a state-of-the-art cold rolling complex under a contract with SMS Siemag signed in July of 2007. This 2 mtpy facility will turn out premium quality cold-rolled and galvanized steel using the most advanced technology, for manufacturing exposed and internal car parts, household appliances and construction materials.

For the purpose of strengthening MMK’s positions in the key export region, Middle East, the Company is moving ahead with its Turkey steel production project (MMK Metalurji) with an annual capacity of 2.3 m tons. The complex will produce hot and cold rolled flat products and galvanized and colour-coated coils. A colour coating line was commissioned at MMK Metalurji in February 2010, and in April, 2010, a hot dip galvanizing line. A sea port, which is the largest private port in Turkey, has been put into operation in Iskenderun. |  |
