04/28/2026 - Primetals Technologies announced it has successfully completed the installation of ArcelorMittal’s new converter suspension system for its LD converter (BOF) No. 2 in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany.
After conducting an engineering study, Primetals Technologies determined the best solution for the company’s existing converter equipment. They provided equipment manufacturing and supply, advisory services during construction, commissioning and start-up.
“We met the tight schedule, and the converter — including the new refractory lining — was moved smoothly, all while production continued and without any safety issues. This was a powerful team effort. Many thanks to everyone involved for their dedication and expertise,” said Robert Richter, head of the steel plant at ArcelorMittal Eisenhüttenstadt.
The companies said commissioning was completed within 50 days.
