The DCH Steel Group, which includes key enterprises like the Sukha Balka mine and the Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ), has demonstrated remarkable resilience while navigating the challenges of operating during Ukraine’s ongoing war. From ensuring production continuity to implementing modernization projects, the company remains a cornerstone of Ukraine’s industrial and economic landscape.
Despite a tumultuous year, DCH Steel made notable strides:
Production Metrics
In 2024, the Dnipro Metallurgical Plant produced 42.9 thousand tons of rolled metal and 289.1 thousand tons of metallurgical coke. However, production volumes declined significantly compared to 2023 due to energy shortages and operational constraints.
Modernization Efforts
The company undertook extensive repairs and upgrades, including modernizing furnaces, updating machinery, and enhancing safety measures. Notably, at Sukha Balka, repairs included upgrading shaft equipment and preparing infrastructure for future demands.
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
A groundbreaking project at the Sukha Balka mine involves the construction of a 2 MW solar power plant. Scheduled for commissioning in mid-2025, this project aims to reduce the mine’s reliance on external energy sources, underscoring DCH Steel’s commitment to sustainability.
