In 2007–2008, the company Gipromez developed plans for the construction of ladle-furnace units and steelvacuum-degassing units in the converter shops at the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine and the electric steelmaking shop of the Oskolskii Electrometallurgical Combine. Another Gipromez project of interest is the casting-rolling mini-mill being built in the town of Yartsevo (Smolensk Region). In 2008, the company completed a feasibility study of organizing the production of hot-rolled strip at the Lysva Metallurgical Plant in order to provide the plant with its own high-quality starting strip for the subsequent application of corrosion-resistant coatings.
