[edit] History
The year of 1897 is considered the year of establishment of Ilyich Mariupol steel and iron works, when in Mariupol was mounted and gave out the first products pipe workshop of Nikopol-Mariupol mining- metallurgical society.
The location of factory in a Mariupol city was advantageous from geographical position which provided the closeness of raw materials and fuel resources, presence of marine auction port, labor force of peasants from the nearest villages. The factory broadened to beginning the twentieth age became a major metallurgical enterprise at the South of Russia.
It is finally picked up thread after the World War I and Civil War in 1927, the factory began to develop as comprehensive machine-building enterprise. Powers of operating productions broadened. New subdivisions were built: new-pipe, thick-sheet, sheet-finishing workshops, a number of other workshops.
In 1941 the enterprise passes to the issue of defensive types of products, including armor plating for the tank T-34, production of which it was mastered at the plant before Great Patriotic war. In the war-time the most valuable equipment dismantled and it is sent on the factories of Ural and Siberia, and blast-furnace and martin stoves are put out of action. After liberation of Mariupol, at the end of 1944, the plant only had 70% of its production power, but it almost immediately started shipping armored steel to the war front.
In 1954-1969 years the company experienced its second birth. The reconstruction of high furnaces was conducted at this time, three more high furnaces were built, as long as a martin workshop with the highest nomber of stoves in the world, an oxygen-converter workshop, squeezing-steel workshop 1150, workshops for hot and cold rolling, an agglomerative factory (the largest in Europe), a complex of workshops for auxiliary production. The first products in 1983 - shtrips for production of large diameter pipes - brought a thick-sheet workshop 3000, one of the most modern in Europe.
The company got the powerful impulse of development in the last decade. The enterprise built several new facilities, including an electric-welded pipe and limekiln department, two machines for continuous casting of purveyances, setting for the complex lapping of steel and energetic block in a converter to the workshop, modernization and reconstruction of equipment is conducted in most base workshops.
An important event in history of the enterprise took place in November 2000, when the Parliament of Ukraine passed the Act "About the features of privatization of JSC "Ilyich Mariupol steel and iron works", according to which the collective got the right to count itself the proprietor of the enterprise.
