Mechel Campia Turzii's general director Gennadiy Somov noted at the audit's concluding meeting, "Mechel Campia Turzii is currently at its final stage of preparing the plant's long-term development program for 2008-2011... As soon as late 2007, we plan to finalize contracts for delivering equipment, constructing a continuous caster, and reconstructing wire mill 230. Long-term development of the plant also provides for improving the quality system at Mechel Campia Turzii. The system will enable the plant to maintain its share in the steel rolled and hardware product market by maintaining high quality levels, while significantly reducing production costs and production cycle time.
