Redaelli Opens Wire Rope Production Facility in Italy
12/04/2009 - Redaelli has opened a new manufacturing facility in Trieste that will produce what it claims to be the largest wire ropes in the world. The facility will have the capacity to produce cables that weigh over 550 tonnes and are 175 mm in diameter.
Redaelli has opened a new manufacturing facility in Trieste that will produce what it claims to be the largest wire ropes in the world.
The new facility, which will produce Flexpack compacted non-rotating steel wire ropes, will have the capacity to produce cables that weigh over 550 tonnes and are 175 mm in diameter. That exceeds the current rope weight record by more than 200 tonnes, according to Redaelli.
These ropes are used across many sectors such as offshore oil and gas exploration and production. Redaelli says that its new wire ropes have a higher tensile strength to ensure that the platform remains in position on the extraction site as long as possible and in extreme conditions.
The new production line will employ 25 people.
More than €12 million has been invested in the facility by Severstal-metiz, Redaelli’s parent company, as part of its strategy to become the global leader in the supply of steel ropes.
