Europe's second largest steel producer Tata Steel has announced that it has further strengthened its commitment to the automotive industry with the unveiling of its new slitting line to process advanced and ultra high-strength steels at its Ruhr-based steel service center in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
 
As well as raising the service center's capacity, the new line with a total investment of €9.5 million will also expand its processing capabilities. The new slitter will be able to process steel coil in thicknesses of 0.4-4 mm and widths of up to 1,650 mm.
 
The new slitting line, the center's second, is specially geared up to process advanced and ultra high-strength steels, which are used to manufacture demanding automotive applications used in chassis, suspension, wheels and seats.
