Donbas gains the edge in Częstochowa Steel Mill tender

It is difficult to forecast which of the two companies will win the tender, but it is worth emphasizing that Donbas has gathered bonus points for inviting domestic raw material suppliers into the project. "Donbas is creating a company with Złomrex. It will control 75% of the new venture, while the rest will be owned by Złomrex," said an anonymous sector representative. Neither of the two parties wanted to comment on the news. According to unofficial information, thanks to this undertaking, Donbas will be capable of supplying the mill with its basic raw materials, namely scrap metal. Following the fact that Ukraine has introduced significant excise on these products, the securing of the material from domestic supplies is of key importance. The new venture also plans to take part in the bid to take over pipe rolling mill Jedność. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) A.K.
