History of the Company

DHM GROUP has a history of over 30 years, starting as a small engineering office with just a few employees and growing to become a leading international company in the field of machine building and design development for metallurgy.

1945-1991

The history of DHM GROUP (former DNEPROHYDROMACH) is closely connected with the Central Design Bureau of Metallurgical Equipment, founded in 1945, later renamed as the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Labour Mechanization in Ferrous Metallurgy and Mechanical Repair Works and becoming the main research and development site for ferrous metallurgy in the USSR.

1994

Hennadiy Alymov established the Joint Stock Company «DNEPROHYDROMACH» with the goal of developing and producing cutting-edge process equipment for metallurgy. He assembled a team of the most skilled engineers and designers from the institute to form the foundation of the company.

1994-1995

The world’s first hydraulic plugging machine for a ferroalloy furnace with hydraulic power pack installed directly on the machine was developed and manufactured for Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant in Ukraine. This first project served as the beginning of the development of DHM GROUP.

1998-2000

DHM GROUP was actively involved in creating modern hydraulic machines for drilling and plugging the cast-iron tapholes of blast furnaces, aimed at replacing outdated electromechanical equipment.

2000

In a significant moment in the history of DHM GROUP, the first comprehensive project for reconstruction of the Blast Furnace at Zaporizhstal Iron & Steel Works was successfully implemented. Scope of works included first two-level flat cast house with dedusting system and modern hydraulic tapping equipment. 

The biggest challenge of the project was to design and produce more than 200 tons of complicated hydraulic process equipment in just 7 months timeframe. Young growing company DHM GROUP accepted the challenge and managed to deliver in time several mud gun and drilling machines along with trough cover manipulator and tilting runners with hydraulic drives, hydraulic power pack set and electric control system. This set up the beginning of new era for DHM GROUP.

2001-2009

Over the course of 10 years, DHM GROUP expanded its range of manufactured products and entered new markets of Kazakhstan, Russia, Eastern Europe. During this time company produced more than 150 hydraulic machines for Iron making and Ferro-alloys plants, as well as several complete sintering machines and more than 500 various non-standard equipments.
