About Us

More than 70 years JSC “Uzmetkombinat” is among the manufacturers of metal products. It began its work activity from 5th of  March 1944, the start of open-hearth furnace..

 In 1994, the Uzbek metallurgical plant as a result of its Association with Shirin machine-building plant and self-management of enterprises “Vtorchermet”, was transformed into an open joint stock company “Uzbek Metallurgical Plant” in accordance with the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On establishment of joint stock company “Uzbek Metallurgical Plant”, dated from 24th of  March 1994, No. 159.

All the past years the plant  marked a strong belief in the course of technical progress, the construction of new production lines, equipment modernization, innovation, reconstruction. Commissioning (in 1962) of the continuous casting of steel, increasing the capacity of casting ladles, reconstruction of the mill “300” helped to improve operational efficiency, improve product quality.

In the 70s were built and put into operation a steel plant enamelware, arc-furnace plant in the early 80’s began production of long products and billets, the new Rolling Mill number 2. In the 90s were commissioned pipe welding shop and plot producing grinding balls with a diameter of 67 mm and 100 mm.

In accordance with the concept of development of metallurgical industry in the Republic, at the plant develops new products and introduce new objects.
