Severstal has became
Russia's largest steel producer in terms of
production, with an output of 15.1 million tons in 2005.
The company overcame the ex-leader of
Russia's steel
production Evraz Group, which produced 13.8 million tons in 2005.
Severstal now ranks as the world's 13th largest steelmaker, while Evraz Group is on 14th place.
Severstal's figures include
