WISCO) has stated that its RST330 hot rolled pickling steel, applied in water heating tanks, has been approved by Zhuhai, Guangdong-based Chinese company Zhuhai Gree Group Co.
WISCO said this constitutes a breakthrough in its efforts to occupy an increased share in the market for steel for high-quality home appliances, after commencing cooperation with Chinese home appliance manufacturer Haier in 2012.
