Evraz NTMK steel plant (ЕВРАЗ Нижнетагильский металлургический комбинат, НТМЗ (predecessor, Russian), ЕВРАЗ НТМК, Ново-Тагильский металлургический завод (predecessor, Russian)), also known as Novo-Tagil Metallurgical Plant (predecessor), NTMZ (predecessor), JSC Evraz Nizhny Tagil Metallurgical Plant, Nizhny Tagil Iron & Steel Works, is a steel plant in Nizhnij Tagil, Sverdlovsk, Russia that operates blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) technology.

  • Location: 1 Metallurgov street, Nizhnij Tagil, Sverdlovsk oblast, Russia, 622025
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 57.922851, 60.033543 (exact)

Background

The predecessor of NTMK was the Novo-Tagil Metallurgical Plant (NTMZ), the construction of which lasted from 1931 to 1940.[1] The first blast furnace of NTMZ was put into operation in 1940, and this year is also considered to be the founding year of the current EVRAZ NTMK.[2] In the same year, the open-hearth furnace shop was launched. In 1957, the plant received the status of a "combine" (комбинат, Russian).[2] The basic oxygen furnace shop was launched in 1963.[2] In the late 1990s, NTMK was close to bankruptcy, but in 2001 the plant was acquired by the EVRAZ holding, which allowed the company to continue steel production.[2]

Environmental & safety violations

A six-fold excess of harmful substances was recorded near Evraz NTMK. The residents of Nizhny Tagil experienced nausea, dizziness and headaches. The plant was fined the minimum amount of 20 thousand roubles.[3]

On October 6, 2023 big clouds of black smoke with a pungent smell covered the sky over Nizhny Tagil. Local residents reported that the smoke had come from the direction of the Evraz NTMK steel plant. The cause of the smoke was a fire that had occurred during maintenance work on the water supply system in the coke chemical production capture unit. According to Evraz NTMK, the fire was extinguished within 15-20 minutes, no one was injured, and as per preliminary assessments, there was no threat to the environment. A commission has been formed at the plant to investigate the causes of the incident.[4]

On September 10, 2024 a fire broke out in the gas collector of blast furnace No. 6 (BF 6) at EVRAZ NTMK. As a result, one worker, a blast furnace gasman born tragically died, and three others were injured.[5]

The State Labor Inspectorate in the Sverdlovsk Region identified numerous violations of labor laws at the plant. Inspection results show that the blast furnace shop's mechanical workshop, metal processing, loading operations, and storage of goods lacked safety accommodations, and lack of occupational safety training among employees.[6]

The department issued an order to JSC EVRAZ NTMK to eliminate the identified violations, remove from work employees who had not undergone safety training, and bring those responsible to disciplinary responsibility.[6]

Financial results

EVRAZ has not published consolidated financial results since 2022 due to the lack of an auditor as a result of the sanctions imposed on the company and its shareholders. Thus, plant-level annual production data is not available. In 2022, EVRAZ Group produced 12,800 thousand tons of steel. Revenue in Russia for 2023 amounted to USD 7.7 billion, which is 19% less than the previous year.[7]
