As of January 1, 2007, the production capacity of finished rolled steel in Russia amounted to 67.9 million tons. [5] From 2000 to 2008, steel making capacity increased by 6.7 million tons, production of finished rolled steel by 4.3 million tons, and the production of steel pipes by 780 thousand tons. [2]

More than 80% of industrial production of Russian ferrous metallurgy accounted for 9 large companies : Evraz, Severstal, NLMK, Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK), MC metalloinvest, Mechel, TMK, United Metallurgical Company, Chelyabinsk Pipe Rolling Plant. [4]

The volume of basic iron and steel production in 2006 exceeded that from the early 1990s. [4] From 2000 to 2007, the growth in output of steel and alloys was due to accelerated development of modern advanced techniques, in particular: electric furnace steelmaking.
