Release time：Nov 05, 2019 From：admin

The new state-of-the-art hot-dip galvanizing line FBA10 at thyssenkrupp Steel’s Dortmund site is taking shape. Following approval by the district government in Arnsberg, the symbolic laying of the foundation stone took place last week. Together with Armin Laschet, state premier of North Rhine-Westphalia, thyssenkrupp Steel thus prepared the way for the tenth line of its type in the Ruhr, scheduled to start operation in 2021. Mr Premal Desai, CEO of thyssenkrupp Steel said that “There is a substantial shift in the automotive industry from electrogalvanized to hot-dip galvanized steels. Our new hot-dip coating line will support this trend and exploit market potential. The line is a key element of our strategy to differentiate ourselves from the competition through high-tech products. So, FBA10 is an important step in the successful and sustainable development of thyssenkrupp Steel.” 

FBA10 will produce steels for interior vehicle parts and outer panel applications as well as highly innovative zinc-magnesium products with low coating thicknesses that save material and costs while ensuring high durability.
