Until now, Interpipe Steel remains the only metallurgical plant in Ukraine built from scratch during the years of Independence. Moreover, this is the largest green investment in the domestic industry worth 1 billion (together with related industries).

The turnkey construction of the plant was carried out by the Italian company Danieli, one of the global leading manufacturers of equipment for the metallurgical industry.

The launch of Interpipe Steel made it possible to close the environmentally polluted open-hearth steel production, as a result of which CO2 emissions into the atmosphere decreased by almost 10 times, gas consumption – by 8 times. Thus, today Interpipe Steel fully corresponds to the ambitions of the European Green Deal: its emissions do not exceed 250 kg of CO2 per ton of steel.

Interpipe Steel is equipped with a modern dust and gas purification system according to European standards. The enterprise has a closed water supply system, which excludes the discharge of industrial wastewater into the Dnieper and other water bodies.

In addition, Interpipe Steel is the only plant in Ukraine where innovative technologies and production culture are combined with contemporary art. The company created 5 art installations by the famous artist Olafur Eliasson: “Dnepropetrovsk sunrise”, “Material is movement”, “Your bridge of thoughts”, “Your fiery pattern”, “Your time tunnel”.

Andrey Korotkov, Deputy General Director of Interpipe:

— The Interpipe Steel plant is the production of the future, in many respects it anticipated its time. We built an environmentally friendly, green enterprise 10 years ago, before the world was even talking about the Green Deal and fighting CO2 emissions as it is now.

Today, Interpipe Steel is a benchmark of green metallurgy in Ukraine. So far, this is the largest private “green” investment in the domestic industry. Today there is a lot of talk about Ukraine striving to become part of Europe. We did not wait for this moment to come, we ourselves built Europe in Ukraine 10 years ago.
