Metinvest Group has resumed operation of the Ukraine-based BOF blast furnace Kamet Steel, a subsidiary of the Metinvest Holding Group.

The company had to suspend the Complex, due to the restrictions on energy supplies resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war.

During the forced downtime, the factory team was working on restarting the continuous casting machines, repairing the crane equipment, and auditing the mechanical, electrical, and power equipment for both blast furnaces.

According to Metinvest Group’s official statement, Kamet Steel has restarted BF No. 2 and CCM No. 3.

It intends to continue operations provided the power supply remains uninterrupted and the other related equipment is operational.
