Breakdown of Domestic Flat Steel
Product Sales by Market Segment
Strong domestic demand for our flat steel products
left us with less capacity available for exports. As a
result, flat products export volume for 2007 stayed at
655,6 thousand tons, generating USD 416 million in
sales revenue. Due to reduced export volumes, we
had to strategically target our export markets, channeling
76,5% of the volume to EU countries.
Income from sale of by-products with limited domestic
demand such as benzole, blast furnace slag and
granulated slag was also boosted by the development
of new export markets, netting the company an
additional USD 3,1 million.
Our plant in Romania achieved sales of 58 thousand
tons of silicon flat steel.
