New Cold Rolling Plant Begins to Hit Its Stride

“In just few months, Atakaş has produced over 60,000 tons of prime-quality galvanized coils, and, thanks to a remarkable ramp-up, the plant is expected to reach the maximum productivity by the end of this year,” Danieli said in a statement.

Located in Iskenderun, Turkey, the Atakas Group facility consists of a continuous pickling line, two single-stand 6-high reversing mills, a vertical hot-dip galvanizing line and a paint line. 

The facility's No. 1 cold mill, pickling line and the galvanizing line are operational now, and commissioning work on the No. 2 cold mill and paint line are proceeding smoothly, Danieli said. 

The facility will be capable of producing 1.2 million metric tons annually.
