Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel, also known as MMK, is targeting an increase of 7 percent to 8 percent in 2012, it said Monday on its web site, without specifying volumes.
The steelmaker expects to sell at least 11.4 million tons of products this year, 10 percent higher than in 2010, company filings show. Growth at MMK will be led next year by its Mill 2000 in Magnitogorsk, the company said. MMK is scheduled to start the second phase of the mill, which produces steel for automakers, in July. MMK's total Russian sales may rise 14 percent next year, the company said.

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.
