Paramjit Kahlon, Deputy CEO (Operations), PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih":"August 2014 was one of the slightly better than average month in terms output of Hot Metal, Crude Steel and Finished Goods. Y-O-Y basis hot metal and crude steel were marginally less by approx 24 and 38kt respectively but rolled products were the same as during this period a year ago. This was because of planned stoppage of BF-9 for 4 days to fix Gas Cleaning pipes around scrubbers. Other planned repairs taken up during August were BOFs-1 and 6, THF-6, Lime kiln #1, total four sinter strands in Sinter Plants. Raw materials' supply and general output of targeted product mix of August were very stable".
