In 2005, JSC KZ OTsM started the rolled metal production development project, approved by the UMMC.

The project envisages construction of the modern production facilities for complete metallurgical process of smelting, casting and rolling of 25 µ thickness metal-stocks.

The new facilities will comprise the innovative European manufacturing equipment, such as vertical continuous die-casting plant, multi-purpose rolling mill, heat treatment facilities and super-thin band-cutting machines.
