MMK’s hot-rolled products Mill 2000 sets another record

MMK’s hot-rolled products Mill 2000 is one of the most powerful facilities in Russia. It is located at MMK’s sheet-rolling shop No 10 and was modernised in the mid-2000s when the fourth heat treating furnace was built and equipment was upgraded.

In the past few years, the mill has operated at its maximum capacity utilisation rate. In 2015, it produced its 100th mln tonne since commissioning. The mill’s equipment makes it possible to produce the full range of MMK steel grades.

The mill produces thousands of different products for various industries including pipes, construction, and machinery manufacturing and represents the widest product mix at MMK.
