The CHEMK group, in turn, declares that the enterprises are not part of the military-industrial complex. The holding notes that it supplies ferroalloys to metallurgical enterprises – MMK, NLMK, Severstal and others, and they already send steel to defense plants. “In 2023, the holding’s enterprises shipped about 550 thousand tons of ferroalloys to Russian metallurgists,” said ChEMK General Director Pavel Khodorovsky, noting that the priority is the domestic market and that at the same time the company is forced to look for consumers for its products “all over the world,” to save jobs.
