MMK Group continues to develop a new range of rolled products with coatings
In March 2022, the company of the MMK PJSC Group Lysvensky Metallurgical Plant launched industrial production of rolled products with coatings of a new generation - a coating with the effect of "anti-graffiti", which effectively protects against vandalism in the form of pasted leaflets or traces of paint, and an "antibacterial" coating to protect against microorganisms.
This rental is in demand in construction, production of facade and sandwich panels, including in the decoration of medical facilities and equipment.
In addition, the company has mastered the production of rolled products with a polyurethane textured coating and a polyester textured coating of increased elasticity, designed for the production of complex elements, for example, a drainage system.
MMK-LMZ LLC also continues further development of wrinkled rolled products with medium and large texture. So in 2021, 1.6 thousand tons of such rolled products were sold. Currently, 3 colors of rolled products with a wrinkled coating are available to consumers, it is planned to expand the color palette.
As before, one of the promising areas remains the development of production of new types of rolled products with a decorative coating SteelArt. At the moment, the release of 9 drawings of this branded rental has been mastered. By the beginning of the construction season, it is planned to master 5 more drawings (two vintage drawings, "Wenge" in two shades and "steel pearl", outwardly imitating stainless steel).
Work continues on the development of construction rolled products with the expansion of yield strength requirements. So last year PJSC MMK sold 149 thousand tons of rolled products coated with structural steel grades with a yield strength of up to 350 Mpa (220-350, S220-350GD) intended for the production of light thin-walled steel structures. The plans include further improvement of the mechanical characteristics of rolled metal and bringing the yield strength to 390 Mpa.
In 2021, a record volume of high-tech coated rolled products was sold from the MMK production site, which increased by 76% from 181 thousand tons in 2020 to 318 thousand according to the results of last year. In total, according to the results of work last year, sales of rolled products with MMK coating amounted to almost 1.6 million tons.
Traditionally, more than 80% of sales were aimed at meeting the needs of domestic consumers, including about 60% of sales were in "home" destinations – the Urals, the Volga region, Siberia. MMK-Lysvensky Metallurgical Plant LLC sold 282 thousand tons of coated rolled products in 2021, of which 90% were on the domestic market.
Lysvensky Metallurgical Plant is one of the key assets of MMK Group. The production site in Lysva produces premium products, which have no analogues in Russia. Given the high demand for the products of MMK-LMZ LLC, the management of MMK PJSC pays great attention to the further development of the plant, sees significant potential and new opportunities here.
