Severstal TPZ Sheksna, Russia, successfully commissioned the RD-410 welded tube line supplied by SMS Meer, Germany.
"The new line with an annual capacity of 300,000 t plays an important role in our strategy to develop high-quality products. Now we can use the rolled steel produced there not only for export, but also for the Russian market," said Anatoly Kruchinin, CEO of Severstal Cherepovets, during the commissioning.
Michael Cottin, Vice-President for HF Welded Tube Plants at SMS Meer, underlines the importance of the new plant for the Russian market: "This line is a trendsetter. The demand for structurals of this kind is enormous, the potential applications are very diverse and will lead to a lasting change in the Russian construction industry."
Severstal TPZ started construction of the completely new works in Sheksna in 2007; it is now the first operative production facility in the newly established Sheksna Industrial Park located around 50 km from the Severstal main works in Cherepovets.
