Třinecké železárny remained profitable thanks to cost savings. Revenues decreased by CZK 2.8 billion

Třinecké železárny, the largest company within the Moravia Steel Group, achieved revenues of CZK 44,536 million in 2025, representing a decrease compared with CZK 47,371 million in 2024. Crude steel production remained stable at 2,424 kilotonnes. Profit after tax amounted to CZK 186 million. The results were approved by the company’s General Meeting on Friday, 19 June.

“This result is very low and unsustainable in the long term given the current conditions in the steel industry. However, it reflects the reality of the past three years – extreme pressure on costs, prices, and regulation. Nevertheless, we remain one of the few steel companies that continues production while maintaining slight profitability. We managed to stay in the black mainly thanks to consistent cost-saving measures and efficient management,” said Roman Heide, CEO of Třinecké železárny.

He added that the company is facing one of the most severe and longest-lasting crises in its history. The decline in profit compared to 2024 is mainly due to lower selling prices of steel products and weak demand. At the same time, the company continues to face persistently high costs, particularly for energy and emission allowances. The entire sector is affected by high energy prices, geopolitical uncertainty, weak domestic and foreign demand, as well as increasing pressure from low-cost imports from countries outside the European Union that are not subject to strict and expensive regulations.

Investments by Třinecké železárny in 2025 reached a total of CZK 1,506 million and were primarily aimed at modernising production, reducing operating costs, renewing equipment, and developing robotics and automation. Třinecké železárny is the only producer of rails and railway accessories in the Czech Republic. Of the total sales volume in this segment (219 kt), 90% was exported.

With a share of approximately 97% of domestic production, Třinecké železárny is the last integrated steel producer in the Czech Republic and a significant exporter to European Union countries and other regions. The company employs more than 6,500 people.

Performance of the Moravia Steel Group

Despite unfavourable price developments in key EU markets and the impact of a complicated geopolitical situation, the entire Moravia Steel Group, which employs approximately 15,000 people, achieved a consolidated net profit of CZK 748 million. Consolidated revenues amounted to CZK 58,969 million, representing a decrease of more than CZK 3,500 million compared to the previous year.
