Total investment in the project amounted €89 million and the project will create 25 new jobs.
The new galvanizing line which is scheduled to start operation on November 18, 2019, will increase coated steel production capacity from 500,000 mt to 1.3 million mt per year. The new line will be producing coated steel for automakers.
