Project Description
The project involves the construction of a new, state-of-the-art coating line for packaging steel.
The new process will replace the current production method, which, as a result of the European Union-wide ban on chromium (VI) compounds in production processes, will not be permissible in the future.
On completion, the new coating line will be the most advanced production line of its kind and will set new standards in the areas of process reliability, quality, environmental protection and occupational safety.
