Aceromex installs new Andritz CTL line in Mexico

Mexican service center Aceromex has installed a new cut-to-length line in its facility in Cienega de Flores, just north of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. The line is scheduled to start up in Q4.

Austria-based plant, equipment, and technology supplier Andritz supplied the new line. With precision leveling and trimming capabilities, the line can process steel sheet and coils up to 2,440 millimeters (mm) in width, with strip thicknesses from 2 mm to 25.4 mm. The company told SMU it will process around 300,000 metric tons (mt) of steel annually.
