OREANDA-NEWS. United Metallurgical Company (OMK Closed Joint Stock Company, based in Moscow) and Strabag (Strabag Closed Joint Stock Company) have signed a contract for construction and installation jobs for one of OMK's most important projects, namely the construction of a complex to produce seamless premium class oil and gas pipes in the town of Chusovoy in the Perm Krai.

OMK already has considerable experience in implementing wide-scale projects with this company. In 2008-2011, Strabag acted as the general contractor for the construction of Heavy Plate Mill 5000 at Vyksa Steel Works (VSW Open Joint Stock Company, based in Vyksa, part of OMK).

“By signing the general contractor agreement, we have finalized the main contract package for making the currently largest investment project in Russian metallurgy a success. Strabag will join our partner team for the Chusovoy project, which already includes Danieli, Siemens, and Magnitogorsk Gipromez. I sincerely believe that this highly professional team will use all of its colossal experience and rich traditions to successfully solve the task of constructing the newest integrated Pipe and Steel-Melting Complex,” said OMK President Vladimir Markin.
