Background

Zaporizhstal works closely with Zaporizhzhia Coke Plant and Zaporizhogneupor, which are both controlled by Metinvest Holding.[1] Zaporizhzhia Coke Plant (Запорожкокс, Russian) supplies coke to Zaporizhstal.[2]

The plant was mothballed in March 2022 due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] At the end of March, rolling shop resumed operations but steel production remained suspended.[4] As of August 2022, the plant was operating at 50% capacity including steel-making.[5][6][7] The plant resumed iron-making operations with the blast furnaces #3 and #4 in April 2022.[8] Blast furnace #2 restarted in March 2023.[9] As of December 2023, the plant is operating at 70% capacity.[10] Five OHFs are assumed to be operating.

On December 23, 2025, the plant was forced to completely shut down due to a power outage caused by a massive Russian missile strike. The operation was resumed by the end of that same day.[11]

New OHF proposal

A new 3200 TTPA BOF was planned to replace some of the existing OHFs by 2022.[12][13][14][15]
