10/24/2017 - Turkish joint venture producer Tosyali-Toyo Celik has fired up a new rolling complex that is producing cold-rolled tinplate and hot-dip galvanized and painted sheets.
According to Primetals Technologies, the facility’s primary technology supplier, the facility includes a coupled pickling line and tandem cold mill, a continuous annealing line for tinplate, and a temper and double cold-reduction mill. The facility's output is intended to serve the export and domestic markets.
