Global steel giant ArcelorMittal has stated that its new continuous annealing line at its Saint-Chély d'Apcher site in France, plans for which were originally announced in 2012, started production on Friday, September 20.
 
The new production line, unique in Europe, will develop new high value-added electric steels for the automotive, energy and industrial electric motors markets. To be used in appliances such as electric and hybrid cars and wind turbines that are required to meet strict environmental standards in terms of low energy consumption, the annealed products will be of the highest quality.
 
ArcelorMittal said that so far 23,000 mt have already been produced at the new line. The new line required a total investment of €90 million and has a capacity of 120,000 mt per year.
