MMK strengthens its positions in CIS

The Deputy General Director of MMK for Sales Nikolai Lyadov shares his forecast of the deliveries to internal and external markets.

Q: Could you summarize the preliminary results of 2013, please? It is well-known that MMK mainly delivers its products to the domestic market. What are the forecasted deliveries to the RF this year?

A: In 2013 we’ll supply the domestic market with about 8 million tons of metal products – by 350-400 thousand tons more than in 2012. The sales to the internal market will make up 74%. The increase has become possible due to production of the high added value materials – galvanized rolled metal and PPGI for the building complex. We expected better results from the transport machine building, automotive production and pipeline segment of industry, however, the demand was limited.
