Until 1917, the plant was called the Alexander Southern Russian Ironworks and Rolling Mill of the Bryansk Joint-Stock Company. The plant was named after
Emperor Alexander III. Later the plant was known as the Bryansk Plant. From 1922 until the time of
decommunization in Ukraine, the plant was named after the Bolshevik figure
Hryhoriy Petrovsky. In 2010,
Evraz merged the JSC "Dniprokoks" into Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant to make a single enterprise, with Dniprokoks acting as a structural division in the business of
coke. The combined enterprise was named "Evraz - Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant named after Petrovsky" under Evraz. Following the formation, DCH invested 300 million USD into the plant and did a major overhaul of the blast furnace. There were future plans announced also to construct a Continuous Casting Machine for the plant and link it to a new
Sinter plant. == Products and destinations ==
