In the first half of the current year, Ukrainian EAF-based steelmaker Electrostal’s billet output increased by six percent year on year to 55,000 mt. In June alone, the company's billet production amounted to 10,000 mt, up 25 percent month on month.
As SteelOrbis previously reported, in the January-March period last year the facility had been idled due to deteriorating market conditions.
