Russia: NMLK’s slag output is set to increase after the installation of a sixth furnace at its flagship plant in Lipetsk Oblast at a cost of US$0.55bn, increasing its pig iron production capacity by 8% to 3.4Mt/yr.
NMLK supplies Eurocement with 5Mt/yr of raw materials as primary feedstock and additives, and has in turn received the latter’s cement for its own construction projects.
