Złomrex to build new steel mill in Częstochowa

According to daily Puls Biznesu, the firm intends to purchase about 100 ha of land close to the steel mill of Ukrainian Donbas, which is owned by Operator ARP that took over some property of restructured steel mills Częstochowa and Stalowa Wola, as well as Gdynia Shipyard. "In Częstochowa we have over 500 ha of land for investors. We are pleased with the fact that companies such as Złomrex want to build modern plants here," said Tadeusz Kochanowski, president of Operator ARP. He did not provide any further information as the talks are confidential. Construction of the new steel mill is likely to take three years and eventual production capacity would range from 700,000 to 1 million tones of steel. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
