Regardless of the situation around the world, the start-up of the furnace took place according to the planned schedule. It was possible to maintain the current production volumes during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the fact that the company created all the necessary conditions for the transition from a shift work schedule to a rotational method.
The YDD Corporation LLP plant was launched in July 2019. The share of the local content of the project is over 95 percent. The main activity of the enterprise is the production of high-quality, high-quality ferrosilicon (FeSi75), which is used in the smelting and alloying of steel, cast iron alloys - to improve the mechanical and corrosion resistance of metals.
Ferrosilicon is used in industrial and civil construction, shipbuilding, aviation, automobile construction, etc. The production capacity of the plant is 180,000 tons of products per year.
In light of the accelerated development and digitalization of the global industry, the YDD Corporation LLP is indicative in the field of metallurgy both in the CIS and in the world.
