Habaş A.S., located near Izmir, Turkey, continues its stride towards modernization and expansion.
Following the project start of the pickling line/tandem cold mill (PLTCM) in October 2021, Habaş progressed with the next phase of their partnership with SMS group in April 2023 when the second part of the contract package came into force and marking another significant milestone in their longstanding collaboration.
A significant milestone has been reached in the ongoing collaboration between SMS group and Habaş A.S. The integration tests of the automation system for the key components of the project, including the continuous galvanizing lines 1 and 2, the skin pass mill, and the recoiling and inspection line, have just been completed.
These tests mark the next step forward for Habaş A.S. to enhance its steel production processes, following the successful integration testing of the pickling-line/tandem cold mill and the training of its personnel in 2023.
The project, which has progressed steadily over the past year, underscores the commitment to technical excellence and efficient project management shared by both entities.
With the new facilities, Habaş intends to expand its manufacturing capabilities in cold strip production considerably and strengthens its own market position.
The pickling-line/tandem cold mill (PLTCM) will already reach the installation phase by August 2025.
