The oxygen-converter shop of Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works has reached an important milestone – 200 million tons of steel. At present this is one of the most efficient shops in the world.
This is also the main steel smelting division of MMK, which yields over 80% of the total steel, or around 10 million tons per year.
The first steel at the shop was produced on November 2, 1990. In October 2006 the shop produced the 100-millionth ton of steel and in March 2012 – the 150-millionth ton. (Ukrainian metal)
