UrBC, Yekaterinburg, December 20, 2017. ChTPZ Group’s and Severstal’s 22nd Coordination Council meeting took place in Cherepovets this month. The event was attended by representatives of the Group’s production, technical, and commercial departments, the company press service reports.

The two parties agreed to update their scientific and technological cooperation program. For one, they will work together on the corrosion-resistant rolled goods and new steel varieties for stamp-welded pipeline components at ChTPZ Group’s ETERNO. Severstal and ChTPZ Group also discussed the specifics of supplying large-diameter pipes to major projects in the fuel and energy sector and talked about the quality of their metal produce and the need to meet target production figures.

‘The two companies’ employees shared their experience of contributing to international pipeline projects both in technical as well as customer service development terms. We decided on the produce parameters that we’ll work to improve further in order to be both the national and the international market leaders,’ says Head of ChTPZ Group’s Strategic Cooperation Department Alexander Golodyagin.

‘Severstal shipped more than 21,000 kg of unique earthquake-proof rolled metal (meant for making large-diameter pipes for the Power of Siberia Project) to ChTPZ Group this year. The LDPs will be used to construct pipelines in active tectonic fault areas,’ says Severstal Management’s Marketing Director Dmitri Goroshkov.
