The mill has an annual production capacity of more than 180,000 mt and rolls top-quality stainless steels and high-grade valve steels.
The new wire rod outlet will allow the production of diameters from 5.5 to 20 mm with a maximum capacity of 60 mt/hour and a maximum of 70 meters/second. The envisaged expansion of the mill to include steel bars in coil will cover a size range from 21 to 40 mm in diameter.
