Mr Nazim Efendiev, First Deputy CEO, Sales Director of Management Company Metalloinvest, commented that “Metalloinvest is a leading producer of SBQ in Russia and the CIS - this product has very strategic significance for us. In Russia there is a lack of special steels, and our program for the development of SBQ production aims to increase the volume of output and enhance the quality of the product. We also aim to constantly improve and perfect our technologies, expanding the range of products and improving the conditions of supply and service, in order to satisfy the growing needs of customers.”
