Background

OMK Vyksa Steel Works

OMK Vyksa Steel Works (Выксунский металлургический завод), also known as VSW; Vyksa Metallurgical Plant; VMZ, AO, is a previously operating steel plant that now functions as a rolling mill producing pipes and steel products. The plant uses steel supplied by the OMK Vyksa Casting and Rolling Complex.

OMK Vyksa Steel Works has historically operated open hearth furnaces (OHF). The two OHFs were shut down in 2018. Steel is no longer produced at OMK Vyksa Steel Works and the plant is now only a rolling mill producing pipes and steel products.

OMK Vyksa Casting and Rolling Complex

Steel is produced at the Vyksa Casting and Rolling Complex (Литейно-прокатный комплекс ОМК-Сталь). The complex was commissioned in 2008 close to the location of the Vyksa Steel Works. It provides hot-rolled steel to Vyksa Steel Works which in turn manufactures large diameter pipes and railway wheels. The plant currently does not produce iron, only using scrap metal in the EAF. Additional DRI iron is planned to be supplied by the new OMK Ecolant steel plant once the plant is commissioned.

In March 2022, Tulachermet metallurgical plant (part of IMH Tulachermet) signed a contract with OMK Vyksa Casting and Rolling Complex to supply 140,000 tons of pig iron annually.
