ITALY,UNITED STATES : Harsco awarded new $55 million contract for steel mill services in italy
Publish Date : 12-Mar-2012
Global industrial services and engineered products company Harsco Corporation announced today a new six-year contract for steel mill services in Italy valued in excess of $55 million over its duration at anticipated production levels.
The award from Alfa Acciai Group, one of Italy’s largest Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel producers, addresses the areas of onsite scrap and slag yard management at Alfa’s steel mill in the northern Italy industrial city of Brescia. Harsco will develop and manage a new scrap yard for the mill and provide services for the processing of the mill’s EAF slag. Under investments being led by Alfa Acciai together with Harsco to enhance productivity and environmental sustainability, the new operations will replace older equipment with new slag handling carriers, an advanced weighing system and new GPS detection systems aimed at full control of the slag transport and scrap yard management processes. Operations are expected to be completed and underway by the end of this year.
Alfa Acciai is a new location for Harsco, strategically situated within hours of the Italy-region head office of Harsco’s global Harsco Metals & Minerals business group. The mill produces a wide range of reinforced steel bars and has developed process innovations to give its products special mechanical features, including high ductility, a quality considered indispensable for steel used in seismic areas. Alfa Acciai is also recognized as a leader in social and environmental responsibility.
“We are honored by our selection by this important customer and the opportunity it provides to deliver meaningful, long-term value,” said Galdino J. Claro, Executive Vice President and CEO of the Harsco Metals & Minerals group.
