"Zaporizhstal" is one of some enterprises in economics of Ukraine, which manage to maintain in January and even to increase the growth of production.

Collapse of the transport infrastructure of Donbass, complications in raw material supply from that region, price crash at the world market of metal products as well as increase of the logistic freight rates for railway transport for 30% - all these factors have negative effect upon performance of our Works, and they aggravate the critical state of Ukrainian economy even more", - the General Director of "Zaporizhstal" Works Rostyslav Shurma noted.

In January, 2015 it was produced 326.5 thousand tons of iron, 346.0 thousand tons of steel, 298.1 thousand tons of roll stock.
