Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant to start supplying zinc to Ukraine and Belarus

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant, Russia's largest producer of zinc and zinc alloys, said it agreed to start exporting zinc to the Ukraine and Belarus.

By the year end, almost 5,300 tonnes of zinc and its alloys will be supplied to the Ukraine and more than 500 tonnes to Belarus, the company said.

Chelyabinsk Zinc said it has never before exported its products to these countries.

Before now all exports had been made exclusively via Swiss trader Euromin SA. Earlier this year, Chelyabinsk Zinc started direct zinc supplies to its UK subsidiary.
