In December 2015 Donetskkoks started to shut down its capacities. Yenakievo By-product Coke Works is working at 80% of its capacities, while Avdiivka Coke and Chemical Works – at 94%.
According to Metinvest statement, Donetskkoks employs some third of its workers. The decision to shut down the plant was taken due to the absence of ways to supply raw materials and sell coke.
There is no talk of resuming operation at Donetskkoks as of today.
Other Metinvest coke companies, situated in the military zone of Donetsk region, are working as normal. (Ukrainian metal)
