SSAB Opens New Steel Service Center in Mumbai

The facility will support Indian manufacturers of transport, construction and lifting equipment by providing ready-to-assemble components made from these two globally recognised steels:

• Hardox® Wear Plate: The world’s leading abrasion-resistant steel, engineered to maximise payload capacity and extend service life in demanding applications such as tippers and rock bodies.
• Strenx® Performance Steel: A high-strength structural steel used to build lighter, stronger and more sustainable equipment including trailers, cranes and lifting booms.

By combining these advanced steels with local processing capabilities, the Mumbai Service Center enables manufacturers to source finished components and kits that improve durability, reduce fabrication time and increase productivity.

Specialised High-Strength Steel Solutions for Transport and Lifting

The SSAB Mumbai Service Center focuses on supplying ready-to-assemble kits and precision-processed components made from Hardox® and Strenx® steels, enabling body builders to streamline production and enhance equipment performance.

Typical applications include:

• Box and Rock body tippers
• Tipping trailers
• Booms for lifting equipment

The facility also supports designs that require specialised bending of high-strength Hardox® or Strenx® plate – an increasingly important capability for lightweight rock bodies and other advanced equipment designs. 

Strategic Location and Capacity

Located in an industrial park with convenient access to Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane, the new center includes a 100,000 sq. ft. centralised warehouse with storage capacity for more than 10,000 tonnes of steel plate.

Supporting India’s Transport and Infrastructure Growth

The Mumbai Service Center is strategically positioned to support India’s rapidly growing transport, infrastructure and construction equipment sectors. By combining world-class steel with ready-to-assemble kits, processing capabilities and technical support, SSAB aims to help manufacturers enhance productivity and deliver high-performance equipment.

“Our new Service Center in Mumbai is designed to support customers with ready-made kits for transport equipment such as tippers and lifting booms,” says Subodh Shinde, Country Head, India. “By combining SSAB’s premium steels with precision processing and technical expertise, we aim to simplify manufacturing and help our customers achieve higher productivity and performance.”
