In particular, angles output is expected to
reach 4.5 thousand tons (May level). Around 55-60% of the total volume will be
covered by 100x100 mm angles.
At the same time channel output is expected to
decrease by 8%, to 3.3 thousand tons. Beams output is to grow to 1.2 thousand
tons (+55%).
Local market structural shapes deliveries would
account for 30-40% of the total volume, the rest will be exported to the
CIS-countries.
