In 2022, a fire struck the drive room at SeAH Besteel’s large bar mill in Gunsan, South Korea. The entire drive system was damaged, and an urgent recovery of the complete system was needed. Primetals Technologies was able to meet the deadline and started up the plant within the given time frame. For this extraordinary effort, Primetals Technologies was honoured with an appreciation award by SeAH Besteel, highlighting the close partnership between the two companies.

Primetals Technologies and leading Indian steel producer Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to closely collaborate on projects and technologies related to decarbonization at the plant located in Rourkela, Odisha, India.

Primetals Technologies has been selected by Chinese steel producer Anshan Iron and Steel Group to supply a reversing cold mill for its steel plant in Anshan City, Liaoning province.
