Together with SMS group, Bangkok Iron and Steel Works (BISW), Thailand, successfully commissioned a new meltshop for the production of high-quality steel grades. Within the city of Bangkok, SMS group supplied a 60-tons ladle furnace, a 60-tons vacuum degasser, a 3(4)-strand continuous billet caster for billets 150 millimeters and 130 millimeters square as well as a fume treatment plant. The new steelworks with the equipment from SMS group assure BISW the production of high-quality steel, attaining roughly 400,000 tons per year.
