EVRAZ plc is a vertically integrated steel, mining, and vanadium company founded in 1992 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It produces and distributes a wide range of steel products including steel beams, channels, reinforcement bars, slabs, and billets, as well as vanadium products. EVRAZ operates through several segments including Steel (covering global steel and related product manufacturing), Steel North America (producing engineered steel products in the United States and Canada), Coal (coal mining and enrichment), and Other operations (energy generation, shipping, and railway transportation). The company has operations in Russia, the United States, Canada, the Czech Republic, Italy, and other regions.
Recently, EVRAZ underwent a significant strategic change with the sale of its North American steel business to Atlas Holdings in June 2025, marking a major shift in its operations in the United States and Canada. The acquisition by Atlas Holdings aims to accelerate innovation and strengthen operations in North America while providing stability and growth potential in that market. EVRAZ continues to invest in digitalization and automation programs to improve productivity and safety, including plans to automate crane operations across its facilities. These efforts align with its broader strategy to enhance efficiency and modernize production capabilities across its remaining global assets.
The company targets industrial, infrastructure, energy, and construction sectors with its steel and mining products, serving customers globally. It is among the leading producers of infrastructure steel products and maintains a substantial presence in the mining of coal and iron ore as well as the extraction and processing of vanadium, an important alloying element used to strengthen steel. EVRAZ employs over 70,000 people worldwide and continues to focus on low-cost production and vertical integration to maintain competitiveness in the steel industry.
