Russian steelmaker NLMK has announced that it has received the status of preferred category A supplier of transformer steel from France-headquartered multinational Alstom.
The highest category (category A) was allocated following the results of a production audit performed at the Lipetsk production site and at VIZ-Steel in Yekaterinburg by experts from Alstom, which is a global leader in energy machine-building.
Alstom representatives examined the production processes, magnetic testing labs, sales and logistic services, and other departments of the production sites.
