Background

In 2024, Donetsk Metallurgical Plant was renamed Branch №1 Donetskstal (Russian: Филиал №1 «Донецксталь») of Tekhnologicheskiye Investitsii LLC (Russian: ООО «Технологические инвестиции»).[1] Reconstruction works are reported to be underway and planned to continue through the first quarter of 2025.[2] The blast furnaces are assumed to be mothballed.[3]

Donetsk Metallurgical Plant paused operations in 2014 due to the Russian invasion, restarted in 2015, paused in 2015 due to a blockade, and restarted again in 2021.[4]

Yuzovsky Metallurgical Plant shares its location with the Donetsk Metallurgical Plant. Yuzovsky Metallurgical Plant may still be confused as part of the Donetsksteel Metallurgical Plant. The 120-tonne EAF is part of the Yuzovsky Metallurgical Plant.[5] A 150-tonne EAF was in construction at Donetsk Metallurgical Plant in 2013 before the Russian invasion.[6][7]

Yuzovsky Metallurgical Plant and Donetsk Metallurgical Plant are reported to be integrated into the Branch №1 Donetskstal, with the latter's units used as scrap metal for steel production at the former.[8]
