Makstil reported earnings and production results for the year 2016. For the year, the company reported net profit of MKD 1 million compared to four times higher than in 2015. Sale revenues were MKD 3.7 billion. The global steel market trends, the international political and economic situation, as well as the prolonged political crisis in Macedonia affected negatively its operations. Other factors which had an adverse impact on the company's performance during the past year were the ban for import of scrap, energy and transport prices, as well as the country's poor infrastructure.

For the year, the company produced 239,084 tonnes thick sheet in 2016, which is 45% more than in 2015. Steel slabs production increased 39% during 2016 to 169,113.3 tonnes.
