Ukrainian mining and steel producing group Metinvest has announced that its sales channel in Ukraine, Metinvest-SMC, has opened retail warehouses in the Kyiv region (Petrovske village) and in Mykolaiv.
The warehouses are situated at the sites of the company's existing warehouses, but focus on retail customers. They will fulfill small-batch orders for steel and render a number of additional services.
In addition to these retail sites, Metinvest-SMC launched a retail site at its service metal center in Brovary (Kyiv region) in November 2013 and opened a retail service metal service center in Kharkiv in March this year. Metinvest-SMC's retail segment previously only had branches in western Ukraine and Vinnitsa.
