‘Director-General at Sverdlovsk Region’s Investment Agency Alexander Porodnov said their choice of the winner was limited to projects in progress between September 2018 and September 2019. The judges’ committee looked into the companies’ achievements, contribution to their respective sectors’ development, the specifics of the project submitted for competition and this project’s importance for Sverdlovsk Region’s economy, and the companies’ goodwill,’ EVRAZ says.

The new ball-rolling mill got launched at EVRAZ NTMK in the third quarter of 2018. The mill is used to make seven different types of steel grinding balls (diameter: 60 mm to 120 mm; strength grade: 5) that only used to get manufactured abroad. The new ball-rolling mill facility resulted in 90+ new jobs, with all the employees undergoing in-company training.

The mill can make up to 135,000,000 kg of grinding balls a year. EVRAZ invested some RUB 1bn in the project.
