NLMK Group, a global steel company, has mastered the production of new hot-rolled steel grades (C345 and C355) for Ventall, a manufacturer of building structures.

Ventall specializes in making prefabricated buildings from metal structures, and building elements such as frames, enclosing structures, and other metal components. One of the key requirements for metal used for such applications is reliable weldability. NLMK structural-grade steel is able to guarantee this due to its chemical composition and strict compliance with carbon equivalent requirements. NLMK structural steel grades have an additional advantage: their ability to maintain high strength at low temperatures. This makes NLMK steels usable for the construction of solid structures across all of Russia.

Ilya Guschin, NLMK Group VP, Sales, said: “In 2021, we plan to double our supply of structural steel grades to Ventall. NLMK is developing the production of structural steel grades and plans to strengthen its presence in this market segment by upgrading its facilities.”
