The overview helps KVERB clients choose the optimal financing model for modernizing energy systems and for the stable development of the enterprise.

The steel industry is one of the most energy-intensive and high-carbon industries in the world. Steel production accounts for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions — about 8% of the world's annual CO₂ emissions, mainly due to the use of coal and coke in blast furnaces. This feature puts the industry in the focus of global decarbonization strategies, but at the same time creates a set of challenges for metal producers and markets.

The CNC market in 2025 is emerging from decline with automation, robotics, and five-axis technology at its core. European workshops are retooling while Asian markets strengthen their dominance. This article outlines global CNC trends, engineering priorities, and smart strategies for production efficiency.

Steelmaking relies on iron ore, coking coal, limestone, and scrap — materials that define efficiency, quality, and sustainability. These raw inputs face growing environmental, logistical, and resource challenges worldwide. This article explains their composition, current issues, and strategic importance for the modern steel and metalworking industries.

The heavy metalworking industry is entering 2025 amid global transformation driven by decarbonization, automation, and regulatory change. From hydrogen-based green steel and Industry 4.0 integration to new carbon border rules, companies are rethinking production to stay competitive. This overview highlights the key global trends shaping the machinery, metallurgy, and engineering sectors for the decade ahead.

Росії вдалося закупити понад 22 000 ЧПК-верстатів, комплектуючих і витратних матеріалів до них на 18,2 мільярда доларів протягом 2023 та перших семи місяців 2024 року, йдеться у дослідженні Ради економічної безпеки України (РЕБ). Без верстатів з числовим програмним керуванням неможливо виготовити практично будь-яку зброю, тож їх закупівля є критичною для продовження російської агресії. До повномасштабного вторгнення в Україну залежність Росії від імпорту верстатів з ЧПК становила 70–90%. Для супутніх оригінальних компонентів цей показник був ще вищий — 80–95%. Тож чиє обладнання Росія закуповує після початку широкомасштабної війни?
