NLMK Group, a global steel company, has launched NLMK Slab Shop, an online platform for slab sales. The service, unique for the global steel market, will enable customers to buy slabs in small batches starting from 60 tonnes.
NLMK Slab Shop aggregates orders for small batches from 60 to 2,400 tonnes. Orders with the same parameters are combined into a single lot for production at NLMK. Each client of the service can form a request for any product range of the required volume or join an already created request.
Manufacturers of flat rolled products often have a need for small volumes of semi-finished steel products made of special steel grades. It is difficult to meet these needs in the commodity market due to technical limitations on the minimum batch production, so rolled products manufacturers are forced to use less effective solutions: to produce the required slabs themselves or place orders for excess volumes.
Ilya Gushchin, NLMK Group VP, Sales, said: NLMK Group new service will offer our customers a quick and convenient way to purchase steel for further rerolling: no prepayment is required for processing the request, and the transaction is approved promptly. We want to enable our customers to focus on the efficiency of their processes by taking on the management of quality and delivery risks ourselves.
NLMK Group is one of the world leaders in the production of semi-finished steel products. The Company's share in the global steel slab market exceeds 20%.
