Swedish steelmaker SSAB has inaugurated a new plate processing center for warehouse and wear parts  processing in China. The center, which is called SSAB Swedish Steel Kunshan Plate Center, is SSAB's first base in the Asia-Pacific region.  

The new center occupies an area of 50,000 square meters and can store over 20,000 metric tons of  steel plate. SSAB has invested approximately RMB 100 million ($13 milion) in the center.  

The new plate center is located in the Kunshan New & Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone. It will be operated by SSAB's Heavy Plate Division, which  is based in Sweden. SSAB will ship abrasion-resistant steel plate and high-strength steel plate from Sweden to this plant, and process them for its customers in the engineering machinery, cement, mining, ship harbor and transportation industries in China and in other countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
