Azovstal Iron and Steel Works, a part of Metinvest, has drastically decreased its output and even shut down pig iron manufacture due to the demand and world price fall.

Blast furnace #3 operation has been corrected; pig iron shop has been stopped till the demand returns. Blast furnace shop operates three furnaces. Steel manufacture employs only one converter; converter #2 has been put in reserve. Plate shop will work on a planned order. Other shops work as normal. (Ukrainian metal)
