Italy-based Forni Industriali Bendotti has announced that it has closed a deal for the supply of a new reheating furnace to Ferrosider, which produces merchant bars in Brescia and is controlled by ORI Martin Group. This will be the second furnace delivered to ORI Martin Group by Forni Industriali Bendotti.
