Ukrainian steel pipe and wheel producer Interpipe announced that on June 6th the 1 millionth metric ton of steel was melted at its new innovative electric furnace based steelmaking complex Interpipe Steel.
The 1 millionth metric ton was melted just 15 months after the launch of the facility and 5 months after the melting of the 500,000th metric ton. Such a considerable increase in the production capacity has brought Interpipe Steel even closer to its designed capacity level.
