History

Evraz Group was founded as a small metal-trading business in 1992.
The company made its stock market debut in 2005, floating 8.3% of its shares in London for $14.50 per share, which valued the company at $5.15 billion.
In 2006, an additional 6% stake was placed, bringing the total free-float to 14.3%.
The company acquired Claymont Steel from H.I.G. Capital in 2008 for $564.8 million.
However, the Claymont Steel mill was eventually closed in December 2013.
Evraz was sanctioned and its shares delisted from the LSE due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Here's a brief timeline of key events in Evraz's history:
Operations
Evraz is a vertically integrated holding, meaning it has a high level of control over its own supply chain. This is evident in its self-sufficiency in iron ore production.
The company also produces excess coking coal, which gives it a significant advantage in the domestic market.
Its affiliates enable Evraz to be one of the largest participants on the domestic coking coal market.
Evraz controls some metal trading and logistic assets, which further solidifies its position in the industry.
This business structure allows the company to efficiently manage its operations and maximize its resources.

Atlas to Buy North American Holdings
Atlas Holdings is buying Evraz's North American holdings, which includes its facility in Regina.
This move comes after Evraz was seeking a buyer due to the UK's sanctions on its largest shareholder, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, and the parent company in 2022.
Evraz's North American operations were allowed to operate separately, and Atlas has agreed to pay up to $500 million for the sale.
The sale includes facilities in Colorado, Oregon, and Alberta, in addition to the Regina steel plant.
