Severstal, one of the world's leading steel and steel-related mining companies, received the SFS1268 certificate permitting the Company to make shipments of rebar to Finland and other Baltic countries, where there is high demand for these steel products.
To date, Severstal has received certification for 10, 12 and 16 mm diameter rebar produced at the Cherepovets steel mill’s mill 250 (part of Severstal’s Russian Steel division). The Company should receive certification for the whole range of 10 to 32 mm diameter rebar products by the year end.
Dmitriy Goroshkov, Marketing and Sales Director of Severstal’s Russian Steel division, commented: “With these products now certified, Severstal is able to expand its target market and further enhance distribution efficiency by supplying these products to easily accessible export markets with promising growth potential, such as Scandinavia.”
A first shipment of rebar, amounting to 1200 tonnes, has already been delivered to Finland in January 2015.
