United Metallurgical Company (OMK) is
one of Russia’s largest producers of pipes,
railroad wheels, and other metal products for
energy, transport, and industrial companies.
OMK comprises six of the largest enterprises
in the metallurgical sector.
The OMK Pipe-Rolling Division comprises
Vyksa Steel Works (Nizhni Novgorod
Region), Almetyevsk Pipe Plant (Republic
of Tatarstan), and Trubodetal (Chelyabinsk
Region); the OMK Steel Works Division
comprises Chusovoy Metallurgical Works
and Gubakha Coke (Perm Territory), and
Shchelkovo Steel Works (Moscow Region).
In 2007, OMK products accounted for 18
per cent of pipes consumed in Russia,
including 34 per cent of large diameter
pipes, 62 per cent of railroad wheels, and
75 per cent of automobile springs. In 2007,
the OMK enterprises produced 1.8 million
tonnes of pipes of various sizes and 820
thousand railroad wheels.
The main consumers of OMK products
include such leading Russian and foreign
companies as Gazprom, Russian Railways,
Lukoil, Transneft, Surgutneftegas, Rosneft,
TNK-BP, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch/Shell,
General Electric, and Samsung. OMK
supplies its products to 20 countries.
In 2007, on the VSW site, OMK began a
project for construction of a plate mill (mill-
5000), Russia’s first metallurgical facility
for the manufacture of wide sheets used
to produce pipes. Mill 5000 will produce
wide sheets of high-strength steels (up to
X-120) that are not currently manufactured
in Russia.
In October 2008 OMK built the casting and
rolling complex (CRC) in the Vyksa District,
Nizhni Novgorod Region. The commissioning
of CRC phase 1 makes it possible to provide
the electric-weld pipe workshops of Vyksa
Steel Works and Almetyevsk Pipe Plant
with high quality hot-rolled steel coils for the
production of small- and medium-diameter
pipes complying with international standards.
