MMK Group plans to invest about $7 billion in strategic development prior to 2022 under an investment program approved at the end of last year, Interfax reported Friday.
"First, we will continue to consolidate our position in the Russian market by increasing the share of high value added products," the company said. "[Second], the main strategic development objective for MMK group is cutting costs as a result of the introduction of modern technologies for low-cost production and efficient use of raw materials."
By 2022, MMK plans to secure a share of "a little more than 30 percent" of overall consumption of hot rolled steel by the Russian pipe sector.
The company expects the share of high-margin products in overall production to be greater than 50 percent by 2022.

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.
