NSM plans to add coal-based DRI unit to new coil plant

摘要

Nakorn Thai Steel, backer of the NSM project, is itself undergoing a restructuring programme to cut costs and improve profitability. Its 550,000 tpy capacity bar/rod plant was closed for one month in August for upgrading and maintenance work. Technical experts from Florida Steel have been recruited for the upgrading work. "The potential for the Thailand steel industry is big. The demand is definitely here. Now with new technology being incorporated in the Thai steel industry, there is nothing to hold us back," said Wikrom.
