German plantmaker SMS Siemag has announced that it will deliver a hot-wide-strip pickling and hot dip galvanizing line for Germany-based Wuppermann Group's new plant in the Hungarian town of Gyr-Gny
The new strip processing line will go into operation in 2016 and process some 500,000 mt of steel annually. The strip widths will vary between 400 and 1,650 mm, and the strip gages between 1.0 and 6.0 mm.
SMS Siemag also developed and commissioned Wuppermann's first hot-wide-strip pickling and hot dip galvanizing line, which is in Moerdijk, the Netherlands.
Wuppermann supplies hot dip galvanized wide and slit strip by ship, rail or truck to customers all over Europe, and even as far as in the US. The purchasers of the galvanized hot strip include companies active in the automotive and construction industries, as well as in the fields of metal-fitting technology, pipe production and component construction.
