Finland-based stainless steel producer Outokumpu has announced that it has completed the €100 million investment project at its quarto plate mill in Degerfors, Sweden. The investment program entailed upgrades to the whole production process in Degerfors, increasing the mill's capacity by 30 percent to 155,000 mt. 

Following the investments, the Degerfors mill can produce flatter plates with even better surface quality, and achieve improved and more efficient production processes with lower emissions.

The plant in Degerfors is Outokumpu's biggest production unit for stainless steel quarto plate. The mill manufactures the world's highest share of products in specialty stainless grades. The investment is also expected to position Degerfors as the largest single stainless quarto plate mill in the world.
