Billed as “the largest industrial construction project in the history of independent Ukraine,” a new $150 million steel casting plant in Mariupol is to pump out $1 billion worth of new steel slab exports a year. Metinvest says the new plant will increase Mariupol’s Iron & Steel Works steel smelting capacity by almost 40%. It will allow the plant to replace exports of low-value pig iron with higher value steel slab. Inaugurated Friday after 2.5 years of construction, the new plant has created 347 new jobs.
