The Ukrainian metallurgical plant "Kametstal", a subsidiary of the Ukrainian mining and metallurgical group "Metinvest", announced the start of supplies of B500C brand valves to the Romanian market as part of the 2026 production program.
After certification by the Romanian certification body ICECON at the end of last year, the company has already shipped more than 2,300 tons of valves nominal diameter 8-25 mm from Kametstal to Romania from the beginning of 2026.
Production according to Romanian standards
