Opportunity for maintaining and further developing cooperation was provided by the results of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance Supplier Quality Management System Assessment Standard assessment. This audit, which included an assessment of the production chain at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant and the quality management system, was completed by Severstal last year. According to its results, the metallurgical company received a B rank, which allows it to be a recommended supplier from the quality service for participation in new projects of the Alliance plants.

Cherepovets rolled metal products are already supplied for most of the models that are assembled at the Alliance car factories in the Russian Federation. Severstal's rolled metal products are used in the manufacture of such critical elements of the car body as doors, hood, trunk lid, fenders, sidewalls, load-bearing elements and stamped wheel disks.
