Briefing 15-3-2002
Egyptian-American Steel Rolling, which is based in Sadat City, between Cairo
and Alexandria has just started commissioning its 500,000 t/y SIMAC bar
mill. Its erection was completed in June last year, but there were delays
with the commissioning, due to the supply of certain parts, as well as too
few workers, the Egyptian company tells Steel Business Briefing.
The company's 500,000t/y combined wire rod and bar mill was commissioned in
June last year and full capacity is expected within 4 to 6 months. This line
currently produces about 25,000t/m and until now, production has been for
the domestic market.
Egyptian American is considering further investment for the building of a
melt-shop and a section mill, adds the executive.
