This summer, Fives DMS commissioned a cold rolling mill for TISCO at its plant in Taiyuan (P.R. China) that was able to achieve a maximum speed of 1,200 meters per minute for cold rolling stainless steel. This pulverizes the previous world record, which stood at l,000m/min. Taiyuan Iron & Steel Co.
