Ukraine-based Metinvest Group has announced that Metinvest-SMC, its retail sales channel, has expanded its sales network in the western part of Ukraine via the acquisition of all four of the metal service centers of private sector enterprise ‘Metal’, the region’s largest metals trading company.
The metal service centers in question are located in the cities of Ternopil, Lviv and Khmelnitsk and in the town of Broshniv-Osada (Ivano-Frankivsk oblast).
