Siberian coking coal and pig iron producer Koks, controlled by lawmaker Boris Zubitsky and his two sons, will seek $600 million in a London initial public offering, said two people involved in the deal.
The Kemerovo-based company will be valued at about $2.5 billion.
The stock will also list on the Russian bourses.
Citigroup, UBS and VTB Capital are managing the stock sale, Koks said in a statement.
The company reported revenue of $890 million in 2009 and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $153 million.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
