One of the most cutting-edge steel manufacturing plants in the Russian Federation is LLC "BVK". Production of goods for the shipbuilding, machine-building, and nuclear energy industries is the company's primary business activity. The company is a member of the KONAR industrial group, which is Russia's largest producer of pipeline parts and assemblies.

The Italian business Cividale SPA, a recognised participant in the European metallurgical market, helped establish BVK, which is outfitted with the most up-to-date machinery to produce high-quality carbon and stainless steel grades for the production of castings and ingots.The production technology is distinctive and significantly different from the conventional casting procedure. An electric arc steelmaking complex with out-of-furnace treatment and hoover is the key component.
