Russia-based steel pipe producer ChTPZ Group has announced that it has launched a new storage facility for raw materials and finished goods from its ceramic flux production department.
The new site means ChTPZ will be able to increase its one-off shipments to customers considerably and spend less on logistics expenses.
The company's ceramic flux production facility supplies its customers with 14,000 mt of goods a year, about a half of which amount is used for making large diameter (LD) pipes by the group itself, while the rest is sold to customers.
The first 1,000 kg of flux stored at the new site have already been shipped to ChTPZ Group's Vysota 239 department in order to make LD pipes for Russian gas monopoly Gazprom.
