Ukrainian mining and steel producing group Metinvest has announced that its wholesale and retail sales channel Ukraine Metinvest-SMC has opened a new warehouse to hold a buffer stock of pipe products and has opened a retail metal center.
Metinvest-SMC already has a sales branch and two warehouses in the Dnipropetrovsk region, one of Ukraine's largest steel consuming regions. The new site offers a number of significant advantages: more convenient logistics, better conditions for storing products and the opportunity to have a retail sales area. However, the most important thing is that the center will allow for buffer stock and more efficient distribution of rolled products, especially rolled pipe products, to Ukrainian consumers in all regions.
Metinvest-SMC now has an indoor metal center with an area of 5,265 square meters and entrances for automobiles and trains. Customers will be offered a complete range of rolled pipe products manufactured by Ilyich Iron & Steel Works of Mariupol, Komintern Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant, and Trubostal, in addition to other metal products that are popular in the retail market.
