From 1 February Baku Steel Company (BSC) will resume production, Namig Ahmadov, the spokesman of the Company, told Trend. According to Ahmadov, the plant holds preparations in relation to beginning of the production.
Suspension of production at BSC for 2 weeks was related to lack of raw metal, used in the armature production.

Daily demand for raw material comprises 1,000 tons.
The spokesman noted that suspension of the production did not affect 2,200 employees of the enterprise.
Repair and installation work was carried out at the plant over the period of suspension, he added.
