ArcelorMittal Monlevade to commission new wire rod mill in Q2 2012

ArcelorMittal Monlevade, Brazil-based subsidiary of the world's largest integrated metals and mining company ArcelorMittal, plans to commission its new wire rod mill, ordered from SMS Meer, in the second quarter of 2012.
 
As SteelOrbis previously reported, ArcelorMittal Monlevade's order for the single-strand high-performance wire rod mill with the option of expansion to two strands, was originally placed in 2008, but was later suspended in view of the economic situation at that time.
 
The new wire rod mill will have an annual capacity of one million mt. SMS Meer is to supply a walking-beam furnace, the mechanical and electrical equipment for the mill train, the complete media supply systems, the finishing facilities for the wire rod coils and the rolling and cooling technology.
