CJSC “Zaporizhzhya Iron Ore Plant” is one of the largest enterprises in the mining and metallurgical industry in Ukraine. The first stage of this Plant with a capacity of 1 million tons of ore per year was put into operation in 1969. Now this enterprise provides extraction of 4.5 million tons of ore per year.

The Plant received a corresponding accreditation certificate for one year granting the right to maintain and repair the traction electrical equipment of the rolling stock of Ukrainian Railways.

The document was issued by "Scientific and Engineering Institute of Railway Transport" ("SEI"), Branch of JSC "Ukrainian Railways".

In March this year, the commission of "SEI" visited the Enterprise and checked the production facilities for their possibility of repairing traction electrical equipment in the scope of major repair-1 and major repair-2. Besides, the representatives of the Branch checked the technological and design documentation.

“The availability of the said certificate confirms the ability of “Electrotyazhmash” to carry out repair works and maintenance of the rolling stock traction electrical equipment of “Ukrainian Railways” at a high level. The document gives the Plant the right to participate in this company's tenders. The certificate covers the range of the products manufactured by “Electrotyazhmash”. On condition of establishment of mutually beneficial partnership, we plan to consider the possibility of performing repairs on the products of third-party manufacturers," - Victor Busko, the Acting General Director of the State Enterprise “Plant “Electrotyazhmash”, said.

To date, the registered locomotive fleet of the “Ukrainian Railways” consists of almost 3600 locomotives, including 1961 diesel locomotives and 1628 electric locomotives. The rolling stock of the company is worn out by more than 90%, so the company plans to invest UAH 10 billion in its renewal. Thus, the partnership between “Electrotyazhmash” and “Ukrainian Railways” has great prospects.
