2 October 2006 (12:56)

The gross margin of UralmashSpetstal Ltd. (part of United Machine Building Works OMZ Spetsstal) increased by 3.4 times in January-June 2006 and reached the point of 214.6m RUR. This was due to 18% production growth and reducing the company’s outgoings. For example, the plant managed to halve its scrap metal consumption through improving their record-keeping and keeping track of the way burden material was used.

The profit thus obtained will be used for upgrading the production process via putting up a modern differential thermal processing facility for rolls in 2007, buying two Skoda machining units, and renovating the pressing equipment. The company is currently dealing in improving the design of heating and heat-treatment furnaces, which will provide increased capacity as well as impressively cut natural gas consumption and make the work environment of the staff much better.

Another project involves construction of modern gas-cleaning facilities for electric furnaces; its completion will result in fewer portions of harmful emissions and cleaner environment for Yekaterinburg.
