NLMK Group resumes production in Verona

NLMK Group resumed production at the Italian plant in Verona. A company spokesman told Interfax: “NLMK Verona has resumed production along the entire chain: steel production, production of ingots and plates. The plant is currently operating under reduced load due to low market activity and government orders. The company, together with local trade unions, introduced a number of safety measures for plant workers. "

Production at NLMK Verona was suspended at the end of March for two weeks in connection with a decree by the Italian government, according to which it was required to suspend industrial production, with some exceptions, for two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The metal rolling company in Verona produces mainly sheet and forged ingots. The plant capacity is about 450 thousand tons of products per year. The company employs 260 people.
