The investment is worth about 5 billion SKK and is to be financed by domestic capital. Employment at the plant is due to start at about the end of 2009. The new steel plant will produce about half a million tons of different iron elements for construction. According to the Enviconsult Company which assessed the project, the technology in the new steel mill will use an electrical melting furnace for the steel processing and it will not harm the environment.
