11/15/2010 - Mexico is building a 104-meter-high monument in central Mexico City to celebrate its 200 years of independence. The stainless steel for the "Estela de Luz" ("Trail of light") monument will be delivered by Outokumpu to the project's main contractor Euroguarco in Italy.
Mexico is building a 104-meter-high monument in stainless steel in central Mexico City to celebrate its 200 years of independence. The steel for the "Estela de Luz" ("Trail of light") monument will be delivered by Outokumpu to the project's main contractor Euroguarco in Italy.
The order is for 1500 tonnes of duplex special grades LDX 2101® and 2205 produced in Outokumpu's Degerfors site. The steel will be made into tubes in Italy, and the monument will be built in Mexico before the end of 2011.
"We chose Outokumpu for their reliability and high-quality standard, since this project is quite complex and delicate," said Cristiano Ghirlanda, Managing Director at Euroguarco.
"We believe that this project can be a breakthrough for our special-grade LDX 2101 in architectural constructions and hope that it can give us more high-profile projects in the future," said Tobias Larsson, Product Manager at Outokumpu.
Outokumpu is a global leader in stainless steel, with customers in a range of industries. The company employs about 7500 people in more than 30 countries. The Group's head office is located in Espoo, Finland.
