Since the beginning of 2026, Zaporizhstal has shipped 22,000 tons of hot-rolled structural steel. The company plans to supply up to 180,000 tons to the Romanian pipe plant during the year.
According to Metinvest Tubular Iasi, according to the test results, the pipes made of Zaporizhstal steel fully comply with European certification requirements, which confirms the plans for long-term cooperation.
Taras Shevchenko, Acting CEO of Zaporizhstal, said: "We are pleased to establish a new format of cooperation to strengthen the economic partnership between Ukraine and Europe."
Zaporizhstal stated that up to 80 percent of its annual output of rolled products is traditionally supplied for the manufacture of longitudinal welded pipes and profiles.
