Metinvest SMC, a Metinvest's network of service metal centers in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, starts selling pipes of Ilyich Steel make at its warehouses. Since the third quarter Metinvest SMC has become the only Company selling the product through own network of service metal centers. The expansion of product mix at warehouses will enable to improve servicing and optimize logistic expenses of Company's clients.
Metinvest SMC ships the entire Ilyich Steel pipe products mix from its warehouses: round pipes DU10-DU100 (GOST 3262-75) and DN17-DN114 (GOST 10704-91, 10705-80). The pipes are produced with a mandatory bevel cutting to facilitate further fitting and ensure high-quality joints. Besides, the Company sells shaped tubes 20х15-100х80 mm (GOST 8645-68) and square pipes 20х20-80х80 mm (GOST 8639-82). All pipes can be produced with wall thickness 2 to 5 mm of commercial quality, structural and alloyed steel grades.
Pipes are produced on modern certified equipment, supplied by Mannesmann Demag (Germany) and Mori Machinery Corporation (Japan). This enables the production of pipes not only in accordance with Ukrainian and Russian national standards (GOST), but also according to the international standards EN & DIN. Ilyich Steel is pro-active about expanding its pipe mix and is planning to launch the production of shaped tube 40х20 mm and 30х30 mm in the near future.
