About Outokumpu Contact information Sustainable development Investors Career at Outokumpu Media Finland INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS PRICING STAINLESS STEEL CHOICE OUTOKUMPU Ferrochrome Chrome makes the steel stainless. Outokumpu is the only stainless steel producer to have its own chrome mine and thus a unique competitive advantage. Information from Outokumpu Organization Ferrochrome Ferrochrome operations are an integral part of Outokumpu's production chain, which gives us a clear competitive advantage. The Ferrochrome business area includes the Kemi mine and the ferrochrome smelter in our Tornio plant area. The main product of the business area is ferrochrome . Outokumpu's own mills use most of the ferrochrome in their production, but about 25% of the ferrochrome is sold to customers outside the company. As the ferrochrome smelter is located in the immediate vicinity of the Tornio stainless steel plant, we can use it as a smelter in the production of ferrochrome. It significantly saves both energy and transportation costs. EUR 250 million investment to deepen the Kemi mine Outokumpu will invest EUR 250 million in 2017–2020 to expand the Kemi mine to a depth of one kilometer. The goal is to ensure the continued availability of chromium for decades to come. Mineral reserves are currently estimated at more than 90 million tons to a depth of one kilometer, but seismic methods have shown that mineralization continues below it. Our ferrochrome production is about 5% of global capacity and we are among the top ten producers in the world in terms of production costs. The Ferrochrome business area is managed by Martti Sassi , who is also responsible for Tornio's stainless steel operations .
