VinMetal Partners with Primetals for Steel Complex
VinMetal, the steel manufacturing arm of Vingroup, has partnered with Primetals Technologies to create a large integrated steel complex in Ha Tinh, Vietnam.
The facility will produce both long and flat steel products through two production lines.
Pham Nhat Quan Anh, general director of VinMetal, said: “The partnership with Primetals Technologies – a world-leading partner in the field of metallurgical technology integration – is a significant milestone in VinMetal’s long-term development strategy.
“We aim to build a large-scale, modern, and digitalised steel complex that meets the highest international standards, enhancing the competitiveness and position of Vietnam’s steel industry on the global industrial map.”
One production line will consist of a meltshop employing an LD converter (BOF), a ladle furnace and vacuum treatment, a billet caster, a wire rod mill, and a high-capacity, high-speed rebar mill.
The other line will include a second meltshop consisting of an LD converter, a ladle furnace and vacuum treatment, a slab caster, and a hot-strip mill for flat steel production.
Primetals will serve as the technology integrator and execute a pre-engineering package for the full scope of equipment, enabling early preparations for civil works.
The two companies also plan to work together on digital transformation and staff training to ensure long-term efficiency.
