ThyssenKrupp CSA Siderúrgica do Atlântico recently sent its first shipment of steel slabs to ThyssenKrupp’s rolling mill in Alabama, which is due to be inaugurated in December.
“If the production of the first slab was an important event, this shipment is even more so, because it is the company’s raison d’être, which is to say: to deliver our products to our clients with the quality and punctuality which differentiates us from the competition”, declared ThyssenKrupp CSA’s CEO, Herbert Eichelkraut, during the ceremony to mark the first shipment, on board the ship Hermann-S, at the company’s port terminal.
The inaugural shipment of steel slabs is an important landmark in this phase of CSA’s operations. Shipment of the 40 thousand tonnes of cargo validates the logistics operations for shipping of production, planned since the designs for the steel mill complex were originally developed.
“Everything you see here was planned with great efficiency and professionalism by the port’s operational and administrative team, in addition to the maintenance and commercial teams”, acknowledged Carsten Bosselmann, ThyssenKrupp CSA’s director of Operations and Logistics. “I am very proud to be part of this team.”
When the mill’s operations achieve their full capacity of five million tonnes of steel slabs per year, CSA will supply around three million tonnes per year to the Alabama facility. The remaining two million tonnes per year will be sent to ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe´s plant in Germany.
