In 2017 Zaporizhstal plans to increase pig iron output by 7-8%, and that of steel and rolled metal – by 3-4% YoY.
“I hope we manage to put the blast furnace No.3 into operation in time and increase output”, the company CEO Rostislav Shurma said.
According to him, it’s difficult to forecast financial results, as the world steel markets face high volatility at present.
But if in 2017 the market continues to operate under current conditions, the financial result will be the same as in 2016. At present the company has almost no orders. (Ukrainian metal)
