Severstal SMTs-Kolpino develops the strategy of the production of high added value products
Severstal SMTs-Kolpino has started purchasing the equipment for production of high added value products.
“The new equipment will help to increase the efficiency of production and considerably widen the assortment of the blanks produced for such clients in machine-building industry as Kartex, KOMATSU and Caterpillar”, General Director of Severstal SMTs-Kolpino Alexander Sirotin said.
It is also supposed to purchase a bending press and a straightening machine. Besides, the production will be upgraded due to installation of a grinding mill and scarfing machines. The bending press is intended for the making of parts out of flat sections and strip bar by the means of bending. The straightening machine is used for the correction of flat sections and grinding mill helps to make voluminous parts (shell rings, cones as well as spherical, conical and oval chutes) out of flat sheet.
It is supposed to purchase the equipment in the framework of the investment program of Severstal Plc. at the rate of about 50 million rubles. The begining of operations is planned for 2013.
“We make advances to our clients. Now they don’t have to look for several producers, as they can obtain the whole range of services at one place, thus, reduce their transportation costs and loss of time. This helps us make complicated parts and obtain large added value”, Alexander Sirotin noted.
Besides the deliveries to machine-building companies, Severstal SMTs-Kolpino provides the services in stripping and padding of sheet to shipbuilding enterprises. The constant partners of the company include such shiprepairing and shipbuilding yards of St. Petersburg and and the region as Srednenevsky shipbuilding yard and Leningrad shipbuilding yard Pella. Besides, Shipyard of Nobel brothers (Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Region) is the company’s partner. This year about 8 thousand tons of treated sheet were delivered to shipbuilding enterprises.
The products of Severstal SMTs-Kolpino were highly sought after in the building of the second line of Sosnovy Bor nuclear power plant and Tikhvinsky carriage works in the Leningrad Region. Beams and blanks of the enterprise were also used for building of bridges at Western High-Speed Diameter. SMTs delivered fabricated section for the above-ground level of the hall of Zvenigorodskaya subway station, South-West thermal power plant and delivered beams for the building of Pulkovo airport.
