SSAB, a leading global producer of high strength steels, develops solutions in order to increase the competitiveness of its customers.
SSAB steel is custom-made in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF). The continuous caster, in combination with the state-of-the-art Steckel Mills, provide customers with exacting width and gauge control, superb surface finish and uniform mechanical properties.
In 1997, SSAB began producing steel at its Montpelier steelworks leveraging more than 30 years of experience in Steckel rolling technology in North America. The Montpelier mill was the first plate mill in the world to incorporate continuous flow production. The Montpelier steelworks’ annual capacity is 1,250,000 tons of plate up to 120" wide and up to 3" thick and hot rolled coil up to 96" wide and 0.750" thick.
Building on the success of the Montpelier facility, a second state-of-the-art steelworks was constructed in Mobile, Alabama. The Mobile steelworks, which commenced operations in 2001, produces 1,250,000 tons per annum of discrete plate and coil, in dimensions similar to the Montpelier plant. In addition, Mobile has the capability to heat treat and blast and paint plates.
SSAB is certified to ISO-9001 and several other accrediting bodies. Its Quality Assurance program monitors the steel through each phase of production.
