After its reconstruction in January-March 2016 we suggested a new construction of the roof and in the nearest time we will start deliveries of bricks of ПХП-4 grade for lining of the roof. Besides, we ship a new kind of products of ПУЛТ-92 grade for tap-holes of 370-tons converters. Our vacuum degassers are in strong demand at ММК. Each year we deliver to the plant about 62–65 complete sets — 70 percent of what is required. „Маgnezit“ succeeded to occupy this niche thanks to high quality of bricks and flexible attitude during improvement of degasser construction.

In the future we are obliged not only to maintain this level but to raise it still higher, — Vasili Verzakov pointed out. — I am sure that our partnership with MMK will become stronger and will develop further. The more so because our partnership exceeded the limits of supplier-consumer relations. We exchange experience accumulated not only in production and scientific-and-technical fields but in the social sphere as well. In this way, for example, specialists of our companies exchanged ideas concerning programs of personnel training and development of human resources, organization of the system for adaptation of interns and other aspects of personnel management. Besides, a joint project of beautification has been implemented as well as number of other initiatives.»
