Ruukki has recently agreed a number of comprehensive steel structure solutions in Central Eastern Europe. The contracts are worth a total of over EUR 3 million.
In Poland, Ruukki has agreed on a complete steel structure delivery for a construction project to build a factory making television and LCD monitors. The delivery includes designing, manufacturing and installing the steel frame, facade and roofing system for TVP Displays Polska's factory.

In construction, we are particularly focusing on further developing our design expertise. These projects now agreed indicate the high regard for Ruukki's expertise in this important market area," says Jouni Metsämäki, Senior Vice President, Central Eastern Europe, Ruukki Construction.
The steel structures will mostly be made locally near the customer at Ruukki's plants in Oborniki and Zyrardow in Poland. In recent years, Ruukki has improved the operational efficiency of its construction production network to be able to serve clients more efficiently. A country-specific sales network and project management enable Ruukki to work with construction projects in all Central Eastern European countries.
