Metinvest and Modul-Ukraina have concluded a long-term contract to develop the polymer-coated coils market.
According to the Metinvest press-service, Modul-Ukraina will receive raw materials for zincing and painting, while Metinvest will be exclusively selling the polymer-coated coils through its network in Ukraine and abroad.
In particular, the most demanded types of coils with polymer coating will be sold in Metinvest warehouses.
Within this cooperation Metinvest has already made a manufacturing program for July of 1 thousand tons and has started placing orders for August.
In 2014 Ukrainian market of coils with 0.39-1 mm polymer coating reached 280 thousand tons and was overrun by Chinese products, which constituted 50% in the total imports volumes. But Ukrainian products greatly surpass those made in China by corrosion resistance due to thicker galvanized and polymer coatings. (Ukrainian metal)
