  • Location: Svobody Ave, 1А, Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine, 51900
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 48.528019, 34.640915 (exact)

Background

Metallurgical Plant Kametstal specializes in square billets (exported to countries of the Middle East and North Africa), wire rods (exported to the EU countries), and pig iron (key importer is the United States).[1] This plant was previously named Dniprovsky Metallurgical Combine (Дніпровський металургійний комбінат (Ukrainian))[2] and is different from the DCH Dnipro Metallurgical Plant.[3]

Ownership changes

The plant belonged to the Industrial Union of Donbas (Industrialna Spilka Donbasu, Korporatsiya) but since July 2021 belongs to Metinvest B.V. (SCM Holdings Limited 71.24%, SMART 23.76%)[4]. Metinvest B.V. is not a publicly traded company, therefore, parents listed are the holding companies.[1][5]

Metinvest changed the name of the plant from Dniprovskiy Metalurgiinyi Kombinat to Metallurgical Plant Kametstal in February 2022.[6] The new plant incorporated a coke plant.

Two blast furnaces are currently under reconstruction, with a remaining one blast furnace operating.[7][8][9]

As of September 2024, two blast furnaces were operating, with the third under reconstruction.[10] On September 24, 2024 the overhaul of the blast furnace No. 1M was complete. While no clear indication for the restart of the operations of the furnace was provided, the blast furnace is assumed to be operating based on the update.[11]
