Steelmaking and rolling mill technology grows with customer demands

Dr. Michael Hanish has high expectations of the Metec event. The Chairman of the Dusseldorf-based SMS AG and Chairman of the Managing Board of SMS Demag AG feels well prepared for the dialogue with business partners coming from all over the world to visit the 6th International Metallurgical Technology Trade Fair at Dusseldorf (16 - 21 June). The customers of the steel industry demand reasonably priced and reliable solutions for customized steelmaking. For this, plant builders such as SMS Demag can supply increasingly sophisticated and reliable technology. We can still expect a great number of innovations to occur in the field of steelmaking and rolling mill technology, states Hanish in an interview with stahl und eisen. Physics will be playing an increasingly important role in plant engineering. However, there are still many influencing factors that the plant engineers do not have a grip on yet. According to Hanisch, the technology grows with the growing demands of the customer.
