In 2021
LIBERTY Ostrava produced 2.28m tons of liquid steel in 2021, which is 33 % more
than in 2020 and at the same time the most since 2016. Pig iron production increased
by 35 % to 1.93m tons. Production of final products increased by almost 30 % to
2.16m tons, while the flat steel segment increased by 84 % to 680,000 tons and
production of long products by 19 % to almost 1.5m tons. The production of
seamless pipes amounted to 136,000 tons. In the next eight years, the LIBERTY
Steel Group plans to invest billions of crowns in the transformation of LIBERTY
Ostrava into a carbon-neutral green steel producer. The replacement of the
existing four tandem furnaces of the steelworks with two hybrid electric arc
furnaces will be key.
