International technology group ANDRITZ received an order from voestalpine to modernize the electrical and automation systems of a hot-dip galvanizing line at the steel mill in Linz, Austria.
This processing line, which produces high-quality galvanized steel strip, has been continuously modernized since it began operations in 1973. Over the years, numerous rebuilds and upgrades have resulted in the use of a variety of electrical and automation systems.
ANDRITZ will replace this variety with a unified, consistent and user-friendly electrical and automation system that supports efficient operation. To minimize the impact on production, ANDRITZ will implement the modernization in several stages, with completion scheduled for the end of 2028.
This order underscores the long-standing cooperation between ANDRITZ and voestalpine, one of the world’s leading steel and technology groups.
