MMK Virtual Tour at Metal-Expo
On November 10, the 26th Metal-Expo International Industrial Exhibition 2020 begins in Moscow. This year, a distinctive feature of MMK’s participation in the event is the availability of a virtual tour of the plant using augmented reality technology.
Panoramic shots will give an idea of Komsomolskaya square in Magnitogorsk, the city’s first square, where MMK’s management building and the main entrance of the plant are located.
Another location, which guests of Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) stand can visit, is blast furnace No.2, the legendary “Komsomolskaya”.
