This week one of the domestic giants celebrated its 40th anniversary. On 15 October 1984 the history of Belarusian metallurgy started: on this day the first melting was made at the plant in Zhlobin. Today, the holding company is the flagship of the industry and one of the most famous brands in Belarus. Its metal products underpin the National Library and the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant, as well as Olympic facilities in Sochi and London.
