Morgan Wire Line to Boost Polish Steel Production

Morgan Wire Line to Boost Polish Steel Production Morgan Construction Company will build and install a new wire rolling line to an existing bar and wire rod mill for CMC Zawiercie, the Polish subsidiary of U.S. company Commercial Metals Company. The two companies signed the agreement in late December. The long product mill is located in Zawiercie, Poland. The new wire rod block and reducing sizing mill will increase the company¡¯s production of wire rods. The line will consist of a four-stand reducing sizing mill and ten-stand wire rod block capable of producing product from 5mm to 25mm in diameter at up to 150 tonnes per hour or 110 meters per second. Installation should take approximately eighteen months. ¡°We are pleased that CMC Zawiercie recognized the value that Morgan¡¯s latest rolling technology can bring to their production line,¡± said T. Michael Shore, Vice President, Engineering Rolling Mill Technology. The new line should increase rolling capacity by approximately 100,000 tonnes per year. The rod block will produce coil sizes up to three tonnes. ¡°Markets reward those companies that can respond with flexibility and new products. These enhancements will strengthen CMC Zawiercie¡¯s ability to use its existing mill more effectively and broaden its product line with higher grade rods,¡± Shore continued. CMC Zawiercie is the second largest steel producer in Poland.
