OJSC Severstal, the key Russian steel producer, has completed the transaction on acquisition of American Sparrows Point plant. The amount of transaction made up $810 million.
      
      The synergistic effect from the acquisition of the American plant is estimated by Severstal Company at $50 million.
      
      It is instructive to recall that last February the U.S. Department of Justice required ArcelorMittal to sell Sparrows Point plant in order to prevent market concentration seen as a result of merger of Mittal Steel and Arcelor.
