Severstal increases steel supplies to Russian pipe producers
Severstal, one of the world's leading steel and steel-related mining companies, announced that it delivered 1.8 million t of rolled steel to Russia's pipe manufacturers in 2013, a 10% increase compared to 2012.
The growth was primarily supported by increased shipments to manufacturers of medium and small diameter water and gas pipes used in the construction industry. Rolled steel manufactured by the Cherepovets Steel Mill was used extensively for Russia's major infrastructure projects over the period.
Severstal partnered with pipe manufacturers on major oil and gas pipeline construction projects such as the Southern Corridor, the Artic Circle-Purpe pipeline and the Central Asia-China gas pipeline.
Dmitriy Goroshkov, Marketing and Sales Director of Severstal's Russian Steel division, said, "We take a proactive approach by consistently offering the latest engineering solutions to Russia's pipe-makers to improve pipe performance and meet the requirements of end customers."
This year, the Russian Steel division's Technical Development and Quality Centre will continue working on a high-strength, anti-corrosive coating for pipes used in the oil and gas industry.
