  • Location: 2 Ploshad Metallurgov, Lipetsk, Russia, 398040
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 52.557372, 39.629574 (exact)

Background

The plant began operating in 1934, when the first blast furnace was launched.[1] In 1966, the basic oxygen furnace shop was launched at the plant.[1]

NLMK Lipetsk produced 80% of NLMK's total crude steel output for 2018.[2] NLMK Lipetsk and Altai-Koks coke plants operate as part of a single manufacturing network.[3]
