According to ABB, Tenova selected ABB to supply and install a comprehensive drives and automation package for a new electrolytic tinning and tin-free steel line Malvar. The line is being built by tinplate manufacturer Perstima. 

As part of the project, ABB will install its ABB Ability distributed control system as well as its Collaborative Production Management for Metals solution to optimize all aspects of process and production planning, asset monitoring and manufacturing execution.
