In 2009, the company confirmed its example operational efficiency bringing gross profitability to 50+ per cent and extracting $100+ m of profit.

Under the recession conditions, Raspadskaya cut its costs by 40 per cent down to $18.5 per t, Vladimir Sergiyevskiy (Finam, strategist) says. It is two times better than Mechel’s and three times — than Belon’s.
