Dneprodzerzhinsk By-Product Coke Works (DKKHZ), owned by Evraz, is now managed by Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest.
In August last year Metinvest CEO Yuri Ryzhenkov said his company was interested in DKKHZ, as it experienced difficulties with coke due to the military conflict in the South-East of Ukraine.
In December 2014 Metinvest was granted control over 94.55% of DKKHZ, but the deal was not struck.
Evraz and its shareholders received DKKHZ with other Ukrainian assets in 2007 from Privat Group for $3 billion.
In August 2012 the works was sold for $4 to the main Evraz shareholder – Lanebrook Ltd. (Ukrainian metal)
