Saarland Steel has recently made several major investments in the modernization of its production lines, including the installation of secondary metallurgical equipment at the steel mill and investments in the Völklingen and Burbach plants. The rolling mill rolling line was upgraded. The renovation of the rolling line at the Vörklingen mill mainly consisted of replacing the existing primary mill with a 7-stand tandem mill. The construction of the facility is scheduled to start in summer 2015, with commissioning in winter 2015-2016, without affecting the normal production of the original line during the construction and commissioning period. The renovation of the wire rod line at the Burbach plant consists mainly of the expansion of the existing 1 roughing mill into a 2-stand flying shear mill.
