Paramjit Kahlon, Chief Operating Officer of PJSC “ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih”: “For ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih June was one of the top production months in H1. All areas performed well with best coordination. There was 48% jump in rolled products as compared to June 2011 and 11% over last month of May. Hot Metal and Crude Steel were also 13% higher than last month. This was all because we could get good orders in June from our traditional market base. H1 y-o-y basis we did significantly well in 2012 over 2011 with 20%, 17.5% and 13.6% jumps in hot metal, crude steel and rolled products respectively. Key performers were Sinter Plant 2, Blast Furnace 9 and Converter Shop. Blast furnace 9 tapped over 9 000 t of hot metal most of the month consistently. At Sinter Plant 1 we launched machine 6 after its capital repair. Big improvements were seen in Internal Logistics as well where it handled average 1 195 wagons a day (600 arrivals & 595 dispatched)”.
