Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that it has signed a contract with Tata Steel Europe, the European unit of the India-based steel giant Tata Steel, for a multiphase revamp project at Tata Steel Europe’s hot dip galvanizing (HDG) line No.2 located at its IJmuiden steelworks in the Netherlands for production capacity increase and extended product mix.
This project at Ijmuiden steelworks, including the design, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning activities for a major furnace upgrade, new automation and optimization of the entry and exit sections, will lead to a new production capacity of 460,000 mt per year for coated steel, with a new product mix focused on higher-value steel grades.
According to Danieli, this investment will further strengthen Tata Steel’s leading position among automotive market suppliers in the years ahead.
