China Steel Corporation (CSC), the biggest steel material manufacturer in Taiwan, has been supplying to the industry for many years.
In the past couple years, CSC has been increasing their production to provide for the domestic and oversea market. In response to the intense demand during pandemic period, and now to overcome the limitation from foreign material import.
CSC has signed a contract with Primetals Technologies for a pickling line and tandem cold mill upgrade at its plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Startup is scheduled for September 2025. Primetals Technologies is responsible for the engineering and supply of equipment as well as advisory services for construction work and implementation.
The existing plant is designed as a 4-stand tandem cold mill. The upgrade from Primetals Technologies will revamp stands 2, 3, and 4 to incorporate the Hyper UCM technology and add an induction heater as well as a No. 0 stand at the entry side of the existing mill. Recent similar revamping projects to enhance high grade electrical steel production was a key factor for CSC when choosing Primetals Technologies as its supplier.
