The Metallurgical Plant of Moldova (MMZ) remains the only metallurgical enterprise that offers high-quality products to the entire region and the foreign market. A temporary or permanent stop of production would have a negative impact on European consumers and the activity of Moldovan companies that, for many years, have successfully and beneficially cooperated with the metallurgical plant, paying taxes to the budget of the Republic of Moldova, including taxes for the supply of scrap metal. The loss of the metallurgical industry will cause a sudden increase in construction costs in the private and industrial sectors, which will lead to serious consequences for the entire economy of Moldova.
At the moment, the plant has met all the requirements of the environmental authorities of the Republic of Moldova. The high standards of the factory’s products are confirmed by regular checks and quality certificates issued on their basis by most European countries. Thus, until now, the plant has received 21 certificates of conformity of products to international standards. This year alone, 9 external audits were conducted at the MMZ plant regarding compliance with European standards in the field of finished products, quality management system and environmental management, without any violations being detected or any observations issued.
