An integrated and independent steelmaker based in Ontario, Canada, recently celebrated the opening of its new $30 million dollar batch annealing facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Stelco opened the plant in Hamilton, Ontario, earlier in the summer as a part of the company’s focus on investment in new technology and expansion of its production of flat-rolled value-added steels, including premium-quality coated, cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel products for the automotive, construction, and appliance industries. The restart of a modernized and upgraded temper mill, along with the installation of new annealing furnaces, will allow Stelco to add a full range of up to 200,000 net tons of fully processed cold-rolled steel to its product mix.
