Construction of the new mill, which has a designed annual rolling capacity of 500,000 mt of I-beams and U-beams, is currently in the final phases of equipment installation.
The producer had previously planned to commission the new mill towards the end of 2007, but was delayed due to technical problems and difficulties relating to equipment installation.
