In January-March Metinvest produced 1124 thousand tons of coke, up by 0.98% QoQ, or by 11 thousand tons.
This was mostly due to the increase in Avdiivka Coke and Chemical Works, Zaporozhye By-Product Coke Plant and Azovstal coke output by 13 thousand, 17 thousand and 17 thousand tons respectively. This has covered the drop at Donetsk By-Product Coke Plant output (36 thousand tons).
The YoY increase of 28% was due to the Avdiivka Works resuming operation and the demand rise from group’s iron and steel works. Some 76% of coke produced was consumed by Metinvest companies. (Ukrainian metal)
