Mechel, one of the leading Russian mining and steelmaking companies, has announced that smelting production at its Ductil Steel Otelu Rosu plant in Romania has resumed. The workshop resumed operating as normal on March 26.
Operations at the Romanian plant had been temporarily halted since March 10 due to a malfunction at the plant's electric arc furnace No. 2.
Mechel stated that the temporary production halt will not have a significant impact on its annual steel production plan.
