The Russian metal packaging market has been rapidly expanding since 2014, when the govern- ment introduced an embargo on a broad range of food products from the US, Canada, the European Union, Australia, and several other countries. Although food cans were not subject- ed to economic restrictions, this segment ben- efited from the import-replacement campaign embarked on by the Russian authorities in the food industry shortly after, the Russian consulting agency BusinessStat said. Between 2014 and 2019, Russian metal packag- ing production increased from 1.56 billion to 1.99 billion units, BusinessStat estimated. The analysts predicted that in 2021 the production was likely to reach 2.43 billion units.

As explained by Zverev, storage capacities in the Russian Far East needed to be ramped up by a factor of five times. If those plans are destined to be realised, they could boost the regional demand for cans by several hundred million units.

“Also, other innovations aimed at improv- ing the quality of tinplate were introduced at the electrolytic tinning unit. In particular, to improve the quality of the cut, the main unit of the cut-to-length unit No. 2 was modernised, where gearless shears were installed; the strip preparation unit was equipped with disk shears and a modern flaw detector,” the company added.

The share has risen thanks to the balanced pricing policy and a focus on the cus- tomers’ needs, the company added. Magnitogorsk Works achieved bigger sales in 2010 when an electrolytic tinning unit LPC-3 was still operating at the plant. After its withdrawal, the production of tinplate at the plant has never exceeded 150,000 tonnes per year. “To maximise customer satisfaction, Magnitogorsk Works is modernising the pro- duction of metal cans. The first significant step on this path was the installation in 2012 of the electrolytic tinning line of straightening and stretching machine manufactured by the Italian company Danieli. The main purpose of the unit is to improve the flatness of the tinplate. Reducing the negative impact of one of the major defects – non-flatness – made it possible to achieve new quality characteristics of the product,” the com- pany said.

At thyssenkrupp, we are therefore committed to the United Nations Global Compact. Our company has had procedures in place for years that allow us to audit supply chains and to identify risks. Our supply chains are transparent and subject to regular audits, so that we fully com- ply with statutory provisions,” said Zenz. “In addition, thyssenkrupp Rasselstein has been complying with the regulations of the United States of America, usually referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act1 , since 2010, although we are not subject to SEC supervision and have no legal obligation to comply with these requirements on conflict minerals.” CT CC
