“Ductil Steel Buzau, Mechel Campia Turzii and Ductil Steel Otelu Rosu, where production had been temporarily halted due to supply problems linked to severe snowstorms, resumed their operations,” Mechel said in a statement.

Last week, Mechel suspended production at four plants in Romania, citing shipping difficulties following several days of heavy snowing that caused road blockages.

Mechel operates five plants in Romania and employs around 7,000 staff.
