Arvedi steers a more profitable course with Inline Strip Production

摘要

The name Arvedi is synonymous with in-line thin-slab casting and hot rolling, a process which the company's chairman, Giovanni Arvedi, played a key role in pioneering by installing the thin-slab technology for steel strip production in Europe. This development is one of the main steelmaking advances of recent years, but, as innovators in any sector know all too well, breaking new technological ground carries risk, and Arvedi had to endure some difficult times before this process began to deliver on its economic promise. However, the Italian company successfully steered itself through its difficulties, and In-line Strip Production (ISP) remains the foundation from which its main carbon steel business has expanded.
