Yenakiieve Metallurgical Plant (ПАТ "ЄМЗ", Єнакієвський металургійний завод (Ukranian), Енакиевский металлургический завод), also known as Enakievo Iron & Steel, Enakiieve Steel, Yenakieve Iron and Steel Works, PJSC, EMZ, is a steel plant in Yenakiieve, Donetska, Ukraine that operates basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and blast furnace (BF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Yenakiieve, Donetska, Ukraine:
- Location: Metallurgov Ave, 9, Yenakijeve, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, 86402
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 48.220502, 38.228626 (exact)
Background
Metinvest Group lost control over its entities and property of Yenakiieve Iron & Steel Works in the non-controlled territory of Ukraine on March 15, 2017. The plant was then being operated illegally by unidentified people, according to Metinvest Holdings.[1] The plant was owned and operated by Vneshtorgservis ZAO, which belongs to the breakaway authorities of Donbass.[2][3] In 2021, a new company was established by a Russian businessman Evgeny Yurchenko, Southern Mining And Processing Complex (Russian: "Южный горно-металлургический комплекс", ЮГМК), which absorbed all of the metallurgical plants belonging to ZAO Vneshtorgservis.[4][5][6]
Operating status & workers' resignations
In 2021, production at the plant was halted in February[7] and (partially) resumed in September.[8] According to media reports, as of May 19, 2021 the plant has not been operating for 2 months and is preparing for bankruptcy; Vneshtorgservis was not paying for the raw materials supplied from the Russian Federation and the workers were not receiving wages.[9] According to another source, in 2020 approximately 1,200 people quit their jobs, with the main cause being the reduction in production in 2020 and the suspension of the plant in March of 2021, as well as significant wage arrears.[3]
As of November 2023, it appears that two Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOF) out of the three, BOF №1 & №2, and one BF out of the two, BF №3 are operating.[10][11][12] BF №5 was to complete reconstruction works and start operating in the beginning of 2022, however, no supportive evidence has been found.[13]
As of November 2024, the two blast furnaces appear to be operating.[14][15] The two out of three basic oxygen furnaces seem to be operating as well. [16][17]
Blast Furnace No. 5 was brought back online in July 2024 after the completion of reconstruction works. However, in August 2025, the city of Yenakijeve was blanketed in red dust traced to this same furnace, which had only recently been repaired.[18] As a result, additional repairs were carried out on BF No. 5 in September 2025.[19]
