In the report submitted by the Magnitogorsk metallurgical plant, says the company’s profit. Over the past twelve months the production of steel amounted to twelve and a half million tons. Hence, the number of finished products increased by two and a half percent compared to the year 2015. The main site of the Magnitogorsk metallurgical combine was loaded on eighty-nine percent. The figure was calculated taking into account stops for repairs. In comparison with the twelve months 2015, the index rose by five percent.

For the fourth quarter, the plant produced 3.1 million tons of steel. Thus, it is 0.7 percent less than in the third quarter of 2016. Iron production in the last quarter of last year amounted to 2.3 million tons. Which is 2.2 percentage points lower than in the third quarter of the same year.
