Jingye Steel to raise plate capacity

It is reported that Jingye Steel Group, based in Northern China Hebei province, will build a new plate rolling mill next month with annual capacity 1.5 million tonnes. It may take about 1 year to commission this new facility.

Jingye’s capacity is 1.5 million tonnes of plate from its plate rolling mill which started to produce last February. Plate size ranges from 6mm to 50mm thickness and 2800 width. Jingye also manufacturers round bar and rebar which diameters 12mm to 40mm.
