Austria-based plantmaker Siemens VAI announced on July 26 that has received an order from Posco Specialty Steel Co. Ltd., special steel producer subsidiary of South Korean steel giant POSCO, to modernize the long steel product rolling mill in its Changwon Works. Siemens VAI said that the order is worth more than €10 million, and the modernization is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2011.
