IMH Tula steel plant (Металлургический завод Тулачермет (Russian, crude iron only); ЛПК (литейно-прокатный комплекс); Тулачермет-Сталь (Russian, steel only)), also known as PAO Tulaсhermet; Tulaсhermet Steel (steel producer); Novotulsky Metallurgical Plant (predecessor); Promsort-Tula; Tulachermet JSC, is a blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steel plant operating in Tula, Russia.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Tula, Russia:
- Location: Przhevalskogo street, 2, Tula, Russia, 300016
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 54.156726, 37.725551 (exact)
Background
The Tulachermet metallurgical plant was initially called Novotulsky Metallurgical Plant (NTMZ) and consisted of a blast furnace (BF) and a sintering plant, producing sinter and pig iron.[1] The first pig iron was produced at NTMZ in a blast furnace in 1935.[1] At present, Tulachermet metallurgical plant only produces sinter and processes iron ore into pig iron in a blast furnace.[1]
In 2019, a new steel production facility was commissioned at the main plant's location, called Tulaсhermet Steel (Металлургический завод Тулачермет-Сталь or Тула-Сталь), which produces crude steel only in a BOF.[2][3] The pig iron smelted at the main Tulachermet plant is partially used as a feedstock for Tulaсhermet Steel BOF steel production.[2] The two plants were jointly referred to as Tulaсhermet (Металлургический завод Тулачермет), while the steel-only facility was referred to as Tulaсhermet Steel and later Tula-Steel(Тулачермет-Сталь or Тула-Сталь).[1][2]
In March 2022, Tulachermet metallurgical plant signed a contract with OMK Vyksa Casting and Rolling Complex to supply 140,000 tons of pig iron annually.[4]
In October 2023, Tula-Steel changed its name to Promsort-Tula and became part of Promsort OOO.[5]
Tulachermet plant produces pig iron, which is then mostly used by Promsort Tula (previously Tula Steel) steel plant.[6] Tulachermet is owned by Industrial Metallurgical Holding (IMH) (Russian: Промышленно-металлургический холдинг (ПМХ)), while Promsort Tula is owned by Promsort.[7] Notably, Evgeny Borisovich Zubitskiy owns Industrial Metallurgical Holding and 50% of Promsort.[8]
Environmental & safety violations
In 2023, The Prioksky Department of the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision (Rostekhnadzor), as part of federal state construction supervision, identified 29 violations of design documentation requirements during the reconstruction of the facility "Workshop No. 2. Major repairs of the 1st category of blast furnace No. 1" of JSC Tulachermet. Administrative offence case has been opened.[9]
In 2022, Rostekhnadzor, as part of federal state construction supervision, identified 11 violations of design documentation requirements during the construction of the facility "Workshop No. 3. Completion of the construction of the VRU KA-27/5 complex" of PAO Tulachermet.[10]
In 2018, an employee of the BOF shop died due to a violation of labor protection requirements, resulting in the death of a person through negligence.[11]
In 2022, employees of Tula Stal (now Promsort Tula steel plant) were made to take days off at their own expense given the financial issues due to sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine.[12]
