Often, when they talk about the Caucasus, they remember the mountains. The most beautiful places in Georgia are mountain landscapes, but, in addition to beauty, mountain ranges and slopes are rich in minerals, for example, excellent steel is produced from ore mined in these places.
The metallurgical plant is just the place where rough stone turns into alloys, this plant is one of the most important industries in the metallurgical sphere throughout the Caucasus.
It is located in the industrial city of Rustavi, not far from Tbilisi, just 30 kilometers to the south.
The sights of Georgia were often supplemented and expanded in Soviet times, and some even appeared at this time. The Rustavi plant was no exception, because it was founded in 1948 and became the first enterprise where a full cycle of steel and other metals preparation is carried out. On the basis of the plant, not only steel products are manufactured, but also from other metals, for example, cast iron, aluminum and iron.
