Established in 1934, the facility is one of Russia's largest steel producing facilities, accounting for approximately 18% of the country's steel output, with annual production capacity exceeding 14 million tonnes. NLMK is also Russia's leading producer of electrical steel, used in transformers and electric motors. Its products have been linked to Russian defense manufacturers supplying missiles, drones, and air defense systems. Already facing hardship, this company's profit, along with the rest of Russia's steel sector, is collapsing, down year-over-year -42% in 2024, -48% in 2025, and -54% in 2026 (H1). — Jay in Kyiv (@JayinKyiv) October 28, 2026 Comments 4 View comments Send comment
