Stelco Holdings Inc. today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stelco Inc. has, after investing more than $30 million, commissioned a state-of-the-art batch annealing facility in Hamilton, Ontario, and is starting shipment of fully processed, annealed cold-rolled steel sheet.
The restart of a modernized and upgraded temper mill, along with installation of new annealing furnaces, will allow Stelco to add a full range of up to 200,000 net tons of fully processed cold-rolled steel to its product mix. With completion of this project, Stelco will now be able to increase service to markets that demand these high-quality products such as the automotive, appliance and service center markets, as well as the pre-painted steel market for architectural applications.
