Pakistani rebar steel producer Kamran Steel Re-Rolling Mills (Pvt) Ltd. (Kamran Steel) has placed an order with Primetals Technologies to modernize the company´s existing rebar mill in Lahore. The projects marks phase 1 of a three-phase expansion plan.

Feralpi Siderurgica S.p.A., part of the Italian Feralpi Group, placed an order with Primetals Technologies to revamp the six-strand billet caster in its Lonato del Garda works in Italy.

Primetals Technologies is offering operators of continuous caster plants the new SRD (Single-Roll DynaGap) segments, a solution that further improves the interior quality of slabs for steel grades that place high demands on the casting process.

In December 2017, the stainless-steel continuous slab caster modernized by Primetals Technologies was started up at Outokumpu’s production site in Tornio, Finland. The aims of the project were to increase the annual production capacity of slabs and to enable thicker slabs of austenitic grades to be cast at high speed.

In January, BGH Edelstahlwerke GmbH, a German steel producer, issued the final acceptance certificate for an electric arc furnace modernized by Primetals Technologies. The modernization project included optimization of furnace movements and conversion of the tapping system.
