Graz, 29 September 2004. International technology group Andritz
received a large follow-up order from Lianzhong Stainless Steel, a
member of Taiwanese Yieh Group, for the extension of the new steel
mill in Guangzhou, China.  In 2003, Andritz had received an order to
build the world’s largest stainless steel hot strip annealing and
pickling line for the same customer.  The project is currently
underway.  The recent order relates to a stainless steel cold strip
annealing and pickling line with an annual capacity of approx.
250,000 t.
The Andritz Group will be responsible for engineering, a large part
of the equipment supplies, supervision of installation, and start-up
of the cold strip annealing and pickling line.  The mechanical
equipment will be supplied by Sundwig GmbH, Hemer, Germany, the
thermal equipment by Thermtec BV, Rotterdam, Netherlands, and the
pickling line will be supplied by Andritz AG, Vienna, Austria.  All
three companies are members of the Andritz Rolling Mills and Strip
Processing Lines Business Area.
Delivery is scheduled for August 2005, with production of the first
strip expected in July 2006.
With this order, international Andritz Group has further consolidated
its position as a comprehensive supplier of complex systems and as
the technology leader for stainless steel mills.
