Zlatoust Metallurgical Plant (Златоустовский металлургический завод (Russian)), also known as ZMK; ZMZ; Zlatoust Steel Works; Zlatoust Steel Mill; Zlatoust Electrometallurgical Plant LLC (predecessor); ZEMZ (predecessor), is an electric arc furnace (EAF) steel plant operating in Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk, Russia.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk, Russia:
- Location: 1st Kirov St., Chelyabinsk Region, Zlatoust, Russia, 456203
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 55.197524, 59.650247 (exact)
Background
The construction of the original plant was completed in 1761. By 1764, two blast furnaces were operating at the enterprise. A new milestone in the history of the plant began in 1902, when the new Ermolovskaya blast furnace was put into operation here, and this year is considered to be the founding year of the current ZMZ.[1] During the Soviet Union era, blast-furnace production and open-hearth production were expanded and the first electric arc furnace was launched. The open hearth furnace shop is currently no longer working, steel is produced inthe electric arc furnaces.[2]
In the post-Soviet period, the plant has experienced several crisis moments; in 2013, after bankruptcy[3], the name was changed to Zlatoust Electrometallurgical Plant LLC (ZEMZ). In 2018, after another crisis, the plant changed its name to Zlatoust Metallurgical Plant and also the owner.[1] As of 2018, the plant was owned by a businessman Pavel Krotov.[4]
As of June 2020, the plant was operating at a loss and could not pay off debts; it was expected to file for bankruptcy again. To "preserve the personnel", a new plant owner was registered.[5]
In 2023, the company plans to increase production by at least 10%. The plant is also planning to complete the environmental impact assessment, begin construction of a gas purification system for EAF Shop No. 2 and install modular boiler houses. This will ensure that the enterprise is self-sufficient in terms of heat and hot water supply, reducing its reliance on external organizations. The plans also include modernization of arc furnaces with water-cooled gas ducts, construction of new gas ducts along the shop, and installation of dust removal and dust collection systems. The preliminary investment estimate for the project in 2021 was around 320 million rubles.[6]
