  • Location: 2 Ploshad Metallurgov, Lipetsk, Russia, 398040
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 52.557372, 39.629574 (exact)

Background

The plant began operating in 1934, when the first blast furnace was launched.[1] In 1966, the basic oxygen furnace shop was launched at the plant.[1]

NLMK Lipetsk produced 80% of NLMK's total crude steel output for 2018.[2] NLMK Lipetsk and Altai-Koks coke plants operate as part of a single manufacturing network.[3]

In the third quarter of 2022, production levels at NLMK decreased by 11% due to sanctions.[4] NLMK exports slabs to EU, which are included in the 2024 sanctions package.[5][6] In the first half of 2024, NLMK company's revenue fell by 11%.[7]

In February 2022, NLMK, MMK, and Severstal were found guilty of collusion and hiking up prices for steel products, violating anti-monopoly laws.[8]

On February 24, 2024 a drone strike caused a fire on the plant.[9] There are no records found on any change in the plant's operations.
