After being named the leading exporter for Ukraine by Forbes magazine in February of this year, ArcelorMittal's Kryvyi Rih branch has continued to expand its horizons with the establishment of a new steel products warehouse in Dnipro city, central Ukraine.
The new structure marks the company's eighth storage facility in the country and forms part of an ongoing project started three years ago to create a national in-house distribution network. It is expected to ship more than 3,000 tonnes of steel products from Dnipro city each month.
The new 7,000 m2 warehouse is capable of holding up to 10,000 tonnes of steel products and its location next to a railway line means that road freight services are also available.
"In 2013 we started to develop our warehouse distribution network and now have eight warehouses which ensure the availability of our steel plant's products in all the major regions of Ukraine," commented Anastasiya Tatarulieva, acting chief marketing officer of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih. "Dnipro is at the centre of the steel trade in Ukraine thanks to its location and transport infrastructure, which made having a warehouse base there a strategic priority for ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih."
The Dnipro warehouse will also serve as a logistics centre for central, northern and eastern Ukraine.
