Background

Initially, the plant was named "Severstal - Long Products Plant Balakovo" («Северсталь - Сортовой завод Балаково»). The first steel products were produced in 2013. In 2019, Severstal sold the enterprise to Abinsk Electrometallurgical Plant LLC, after which the plant changed its name to Balakovo Metallurgical Plant.[2] The owner of the plant, Abinsk Electrometallurgical Plant LLC, is associated with the deputy of the State Duma (Russian Parliament) Ivan Demchenko, who owns the asset through his ownership of the company Novostal-M LLC (Novostal-M OOO) which in turn owns Abinsk Electrometallurgical Plant LLC.[3]
