Liberty Galati reactivates blast furnace No. 5

The furnace was restarted some time later, but in January 2024 it was shut down again due to a lack of raw materials.

It is reported that they plan to continue rolling, including the plants in the Czech Republic and Hungary, once the furnace reaches the desired capacity level, the capacity of which is planned to be increased.
