Metinvest Opens Sales Office and Service Center in Nizhny Novgorod
06/13/2013 - Metinvest Eurasia, LLC — Metinvest Group’s retail sales network in the Russian Federation — in its effort to expand the distribution network in Volga River Basin, opened a sales office and a metal service center in Nizhny Novgorod.
Nizhny Novgorod is one of the largest and actively developing industrial centers of Volga Federal District. Machine building, pipe making, ship building and other industrial companies are located there.
The substantial role of the city in the economy of the region along with the positive dynamics of its development were the main drivers for the decision to open Metinvest Eurasia’s warehouse and sales office in this location.
This project will optimize logistics and improve service rendered to Metinvest Eurasia’s customers from the Nizhny Novgorod, Kostroma, Kirov Regions, Autonomous Republics of Mariy-El and Chuvashia by improving the responsiveness of the system in terms of standard and customized steel products delivery.
The metal base in Nizhny Novgorod will maintain 4–5 thousand tonnes of goods inventory, including the generic and low-alloyed heavy plate, ship building plate, cold rolled and galvanized product, beam, angle, channel, bent profile, rebar, wire rod and other products from Metinvest’s iron and steel works: Azovstal, Ilyich Iron and Steel Works, Yenakiievo Iron and Steel Works and Zaporozhstal.
“The warehouse in Nizhny Novgorod will allow strengthening our distribution network in the Volga River Basin and focusing our efforts on provision of effective logistics, service, broad product range to our customers through our sites in Saratov, Penza, Volgograd, and now in Nizhny Novgorod. This is an important step in Metinvest’s Customer-focused strategy implementation. Customer-focus is the fundamental principle of our development”, said Roman Rybalov, CEO of Metinvest Eurasia, LLC.
