Siemens to supply automation, electrical equipment for three new process lines at Shougang Jingtang

摘要

Siemens VAI Metals Technologies was recently contracted to equip an annealing line and two hot galvanizing lines of Chinese steel producer Shougang Jingtang Iron and Steel Co. with drive technology, electrical equipment and automation systems. The contract volume is in the double-digit million euro range. Shougang Jingtang is currently building a new steel refining and processing factory on the artificially created Caofeidian peninsula 80 km south of Tangshan, with construction being carried out in several phases. The factory is part of a series of environmental protection measures that involve moving heavy industry from the densely built-up Peking area to the outlying regions around the city.
