ANDRITZ to Supply Silicon Steel Processing Plant to ArcelorMittal/China Oriental Group
07/10/2025 - The joint venture between ArcelorMittal and China Oriental Group has turned to ANDRITZ to supply silicon steel processing lines and a rolling mill for their project in Changzhou, China.
The scope of supply includes three final annealing coating lines, a reversing cold rolling mill and twelve inductors.
The equipment will form a core part of the companies’ new energy magnetic material (NEMM) project focusing on production of high-end silicon steel for new energy vehicle (NEV) motors, other motors, generators and transformers.
The companies said the NEMM project will contribute to upgrading industrial manufacturing and decarbonizing the NEV supply chain. Producing silicon steel locally could help NEV manufacturers in the region better achieve their green manufacturing goals and support China’s transition toward high tech, intelligent and sustainable production.
The joint venture between the companies represents one of the largest European investments in China in recent years.
