The companies said the new mill will make finished straight bars and smooth wire rod for local and regional markets. The bar mill will produce rebar in diameters from 8 to 32 mm. The wire rod line will roll smooth wire rod from 5.5 to 8 m with coil weights of over 2 metric tons. They estimate it will have a capacity of 300,000 metric tons annually. 

The scope of supply includes advanced rolling technology. The bar mill will have 14 cartridge-type GCC stands, a BGV six-pass finishing block and an in-line quenching and tempering cooling system with twin-channel high-speed discharge to the cooling bed. The wire rod line will have a BGV four-pass finishing block, in-line cooling system and Danieli’s patented oil-film bearing laying head, the company said. 

The completed rolling mill will process 150 x 150 mm billets. The layout offers the capacity to upgrade to 165 x 165 mm billets and to install a horizontal billet welder in the future. 

The companies said commissioning is planned for the first half of 2027.
