Rakhuba said Severstal supplies rolled stock to all Russian automakers and some foreign companies, including Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, GM in Uzbekistan, as well as Peugeot Citroen and Volkswagen.
“We are not supplying (steel products) [to] Toyota as they are not making stampings in Russia, but importing them,” he added.
