Outokumpu has expanded the stock and processing capacity of its
service center in Willich in Germany. The expansion supports the
company's strategy to strengthen its service center network with the
aim to increase sales to end-users and project customers, and to
retain the stable relationship with distributors and processors.
The construction work was based on an investment decision in 2007.
The project consisted of increasing the site area, doubling the
service center hall and installing of a new 2 meter cut-to-length
line and a new 650 mm slitting line. The expansion has doubled the
production capacity from 60 000 tons to 125 000 tons. The total
investment was EUR 26.5 million.
Cay Nasner, Vice President - Central Europe, is pleased with the
renewed center:
"Germany is the largest stainless steel market in Europe. After the
expansion we are now well positioned to serve our customers and
ensure optimal deliveries of standard and special products. With the
modern lines and wide service offering we can meet the growing
demands of existing and potential stainless steel customers."
Outokumpu's production capabilities in Germany are completed by the
Plate Service Center in Gingen, Southern Germany.
